Book #2 in the Thomas Vale series. Thomas Vale's investigation is going up in flames, literally. Arduous months spent tracking a domestic terror cell and their mysterious leader. But the house he tracked them to explodes in a ball of fire, leaving more questions than answers. The digital trail leads Thom back to his rustic hometown on the Seneca reservation, and a chance to reconcile with his estranged father. But he uncovers something unexpected - his childhood first love is missing, presumed dead. Haunted by memories of love and loss, Thom returns home and quickly becomes both hunter and target. Alongside Wendell "Dell" Nguyen, the NSA's sharpest hacker, Thom races against time to hunt down the cell before their violent plans unfold and claim thousands of lives. With the cards stacked against him, and no outs left in the deck, can Thom answer the call, and lay down his life for his country? This is the second novel of Jeffe Boats, a follow-up to his debut Blood Game, continuing a series of action/suspense thrillers featuring heroes from many underrepresented and diverse backgrounds.
