As commander of the nation's most elite FBI counterterrorism unit, agent Max Bhagat leads by hard-driving example: pushing himself to the limit and beyond, taking no excuses, and putting absolutely nothing ahead of his work. That includes his deep feelings for Gina Vitagliano, the woman who won his admiration and his heart with her courage under fire. But when the shocking news reaches him that Gina has been killed in a terrorist bombing, nothing can keep Max from making a full investigation - and retribution - his top priority. At the scene of the attack, however, Max gets an even bigger shock. Gina is still very much alive - but facing a fate even worse than death. Along with Molly Anderson, a fellow overseas relief worker, Gina has fallen into the hands of a killer who is bent on using both women to bait a deadly trap. His quarry? Grady Morant, a.k.a "Jones," a notorious ex-Special Forces operative turned smuggler who made some very deadly enemies in the jungles of Southeast Asia . . . and has been running ever since. But with Molly's life on the line, Jones is willing to forfeit his own to save the woman he loves. Together with Max's top agent Jules Cassidy as their only backup, the unlikely allies plunge into a global hot zone of violence and corruption to make a deal with the devil. Not even Jones knows which ghosts from his past want him dead. But there's one thing he's sure of - there's very little his bloodthirsty enemies aren't willing to do.

The Absolute Best Trouble Shooter Novel!
One of the most irritating factors of Brockmann's writing is the manner in which she first introduces two characters in one book, adds the chemistry, but doesn't bring the relationship to a boil, or a finish until several books later. This can be seen first with Alyssa and Sam, with Max and Gina, and with the still unresolved tension of Sophia and Decker. I'll admit to sometimes convincing myself I hate it with Alyssa and Sam and Sophia and Deck, but the Max and Gina storyline is one in which it actually makes sense and is necessary that there be these years that pass over the course of the series before they can resolve their issues together. "Breaking Point" is the completion of the Max and Gina storyline - the long-awaited novel. A large part of the novel is told in sweet flashback scenes that provide all the good stuff reader's have been dying to read about Max and Gina since they were dramatically introduced in "Over the Edge".
