  “Vail is in the mold of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher and Robert Crais’s Joe Pike….This guy has movie written all over him.” —Chicago Sun-TimesIn the pulse-pounding follow-up to the explosive debut thriller The Bricklayer — now a major motion picture starring Nina Dobrev and Aaron Eckhart — former FBI agent Steve Vail hunts down an elusive Russian Spy.Ex-FBI Steve Vail is looking forward to a well-earned and romantic New Years Eve in Washington, DC, when he quickly finds himself knee-deep in a very complicated and unusual case.A man known simply as Calculus has approached the FBI claiming he has a list naming several Americans who are supplying confidential government information to the Russian secret service. All he asks in exchange for the list is a quarter of a million dollars for each traitor the FBI nabs. But then Calculus informs the FBI that he’s been recalled to Moscow, and the Bureau suspects the worst: the Russians are onto him, probably have access to his list, and will be after the traitors unless the FBI can find them first.The FBI knows they have to stay one step ahead of the Russians, and, without knowing exactly who is on the list, keep the operation quiet. Once again, Vail is their man. He’s the perfect guy for this kind of under-the-radar investigation. But finding Calculus and his list of turncoats isn’t going to be easy. In fact, it’s going to be downright deadly.“We have a new American hero in Steve Vail.” —Patricia Cornwell

  Dinah Whitcomb seemingly has everything—a loving and successful husband, and a smart, precocious young son named Robbie—until one day, their worlds are shattered when Dinah is attacked and Robbie is abducted from a mall parking lot. As Dinah recovers from her wounds, she struggles to come to terms with her new reality and to keep her marriage afloat. Though it seems hopeless, she retains a flicker of hope that her son is still alive. The kidnapper, a part-time preacher named Chester Cash, calls himself Daddy Love: he has abducted, tortured, and raped several young boys, indoctrinating them into becoming both his lover and his “son.” He renames Robbie “Gideon,” slowly brainwashing him into believing that he is Daddy Love’s real son. Any time the boy resists or rebels, he faces punishment beyond his wildest nightmares. As Robbie grows older, he begins to realize that the longer he stays in the home of this demon, the greater the chance that he’ll end up like Daddy Love’s other “sons” who were never heard from again. Somewhere within this tortured young boy lies a spark of rebellion, and soon he sees just what lengths he must go to in order to have any chance at survival.
