Sustained by a deep religious faith, Jason Harrow has built a stable family and become a pillar of principle and patriotism in the Midwest. Then the phone rings, and his past is on the other end of the line. A woman with whom he once shared a life of violence and desire claims her daughter is missing and Jason is the one man who can find her. Returning to New York City, Jason finds himself entangled in a murderous conspiracy only he can see and only he can stop a plot that bizarrely links his private passions to the turmoil of a world at war. Hunted by terrorists and by the police, Jason has only hours to unravel an ex-lover s lies and face the unbearable truth: In order to prevent a savage attack on his country, he s going to have to risk his decency, his sanity, and his life. Praise for ANDREW KLAVAN The most original American novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich. Stephen King Klavan does tough-guy heroes and sexual tension better than anyone writing today. Janet Evanovich Klavan, who has a perfect sense of timing, delivers all the cliffhangers and hairpin turns that you want from a beat-the-clock suspense thriller. "The New York Times Book Review" Klavan writes with an artisan s eye, a pro s assurance, and a poet s touch. [He] is one of my drop-everything-and-read authors. Gregg Hurwitz Klavan winds his tale tighter and tighter until the reader is hopelessly spellbound. Clive Cussler Klavan s confidently wry style keeps things punched up throughout.

I did not finish reading this book as I was quite disappointed by the graphic sexual language in the early pages (page 9 to be specific). This book was recommended by Glenn Beck during an interview with the author who suggested that he was a Christian and it was written from a Christian worldview. The book jacket even says that the main character is "sustained by a deep religious faith".I bought this book to give to my teenage son to read but decided to review it first. I'm glad I did as i would not want my son to think that I approved of this graphic language that seems very unnecessary.
