Soon to be a Netflix original series! "Plenty of breathless
one-more-chapter, stay-up-late suspense wrapped around a meaty and
timely story... irresistible." -- Lee Child To find a Russian mole
in the White House, an FBI agent must question everything. . . and
trust no one To save America from a catastrophic betrayal, an
idealistic young FBI agent must stop a Russian mole in the White
House in this exhilarating political thriller reminiscent of the
early novels of John Grisham and David Baldacci. No one was more
surprised than FBI Agent Peter Sutherland when he's tapped to work
in the White House Situation Room. From his earliest days as a
surveillance specialist, Peter has scrupulously done everything by
the book, hoping his record will help him escape the taint of his
past. When Peter was a boy, his father, a section chief in FBI
counterintelligence, was suspected of selling secrets to the
Russians--a catastrophic breach that had cost him his career, his
reputation, and eventually his life. Peter knows intimately how one
broken rule can cost lives. Nowhere is he more vigilant than in
this room, the sanctum of America's secrets. Staffing the night
action desk, his job is monitoring an emergency line for a call
that has not--and might never--come. Until tonight. At 1:05 a.m.
the phone rings. A terrified young woman named Rose tells Peter
that her aunt and uncle have just been murdered and that the killer
is still in the house with her. Before their deaths, they gave her
this phone number with urgent instructions: "Tell them OSPREY was
right. It's happening. . . " The call thrusts Peter into the heart
of a conspiracy years in the making, involving a Russian mole at
the highest levels of the government. Anyone in the White House
could be the traitor. Anyone could be corrupted. To save the
nation, Peter must take the rules into his own hands and do the
right thing, no matter the cost. He plunges into a desperate hunt
for the traitor--a treacherous odyssey that pits him and Rose
against some of Russia's most skilled and ruthless operatives and
the full force of the FBI itself. Peter knows that the wider a
secret is broadcast, the more dangerous it gets for the people at
the center. With the fate of the country on the line, he and Rose
must evade seasoned assassins and maneuver past jolting betrayals
to find the shocking truth--and stop the threat from inside before
it's too late.
When anyone can be a traitor there's no one to trust FBI Agent
Peter Sutherland waits in the White House Situation Room. He
monitors an emergency line for calls that might never come. Then
the phone rings. A terrified young woman says two people have been
murdered and the killer might still be in the house with her. One
of the victims gave her this phone number with urgent instructions:
'Tell them OSPREY was right. It's happening.' The call thrusts
Peter into the heart of a conspiracy years in the making. There's a
Russian mole in the U.S. government and Peter must uncover who it
is. The nation's at stake and innocent lives are in his hands.

A gripping thriller debut, set deep in the heart of the world's
most powerful political arena A year ago, fresh out of Harvard Law
School, Mike Ford landed his dream job at the Davies Group,
Washington's most powerful consulting firm. Now, he's staring down
the barrel of a gun, pursued by two of the world's most dangerous
men. To get out, he'll have to do all the things he thought he'd
never do again: lie, cheat, steal-and this time, maybe even kill.
Mike grew up in a world of small-stakes con men, learning lessons
at his father's knee. His hard-won success in college and law
school was his ticket out. As the Davies Group's rising star, he
rubs shoulders with "The 500," the elite men and women who really
run Washington -- and the world. But peddling influence, he soon
learns, is familiar work: even with a pedigree, a con is still a
con. Combining the best elements of political intrigue and
heart-stopping action, THE 500 is an explosive debut, one that
calls to mind classic thrillers like The Firm "and Presumed
Innocent." In Mike Ford, readers will discover a new hero who
learns that the higher the climb, the harder -- and deadlier -- the
fall.
A code hidden in plain sight. An American black Ops team that went
too far. John Hayes, a disgraced elite soldier, returns from exile
and risks everything to get back to his wife and daughter, and to
take revenge on his accusers with a series of escalating attacks
inside the United States. Thomas Byrne is the only man who can stop
him. Byrne once fought alongside Hayes as a combat medic, but he
gave up the gun. Now a surgeon, he moves from town to town, trying
to forget his past, until he is called upon by a high-ranking
government official to help capture the man he once called a
friend. Hayes and Byrne were once closer than brothers. But with
the fate of the nation hanging in the balance, both must decide
whom to trust-and whom to betray. In a final, explosive battle for
justice, they face off along a rifle's cold barrel. Cold Barrel
Zero brings together the blistering pace of Lee Child, the nonstop
action of Vince Flynn, and the richly drawn characters and moral
stakes of Daniel Silva. An experienced reporter armed with deep
behind-the-scenes research into America's Special Operations
forces, Quirk takes the military thriller to a new level of
suspense.
