Suspense fiction's most dangerous and unpredictable hero is back--with a vengeance. This time bodyguard-turned-fugitive Atticus Kodiak goes underground to protect the woman he loves and the country he may have to betray to defend.

It begins with a brutal ambush and the murder of a friend. Now Atticus is taking lessons from the world's premier assassin, a.k.a. Drama. If he's going to survive, he'll have to become exactly what they're accusing him of being: a stone-cold killer. From Eastern Europe to the Montana wilderness, Atticus and Drama will uncover evidence of a secret so explosive, it could shake the foundations of a nation . . . so shocking, their ruthless pursuers don't care how many bodies it takes to bury it forever.
