    When a bomb levels an entire block in a gentrifying Philadelphia neighborhood, killing dozens of people days before Christmas, all signs point to terrorism. But who did it? And why? Veteran Philadelphia Police Detective Frank Benson and Sergeant Ophelia Brown-Thurman are long on questions and short on answers. 
    Meanwhile, the high-profile racketeering trial of a crooked union official begins. It is a case in which Benson, despite his best efforts, is selected to serve on the jury—and which turns out to have disturbing links to the deadly bombing. 
    Benson and Brown-Thurman’s investigation leads them into the underground snake pit of right-wing extremists still raging over the outcome of the 2020 election, and eager to lash out. As they race to determine a motive and unmask the culprit, another, deadlier conspiracy brews—one that puts the new President-elect in the crosshairs. 
    In this third installment of the Frank Benson and Ophelia Brown-Thurman mystery series, author and Philly native Neal Goldstein weaves a riveting tale of malice and mayhem around real-life events. It’s a story about a divided America where heroic public servants will do whatever it takes to defend the city, and the nation, that they love.

    What can be done to stop madness from sweeping the world when political indecision is the norm? When the nation's leaders lack the backbone to stand up to them, what can stop an enemy that knows no rules? Charity. 
    Charity Styles is a former Olympian and US Army helicopter pilot. Captured and tortured by terrorists in Afghanistan after the opening blows of the War on Terror, she has a score to settle. Now working for the Department of Homeland Security, she is offered the opportunity to make a real difference. 
    Critical memories of her ordeal are buried deep in Charity's subconscious. When the director of Homeland Security's vaunted Caribbean Counterterrorism Command discovers the key to unlocking Charity's past, he unleashes a tempest, the fury of which no enemy can prepare for. 
    Already a martial arts instructor and pilot, Director Stockwell guides her training in marksmanship and spycraft, making Charity the most dangerous asset in America's covert arsenal. Charity then sets her sails, crossing the sea in an antique sloop. A single-minded, all-encompassing determination stays her course...to confront the enemy and play by their rules.
