From concept to execution, Jamil Nazari's plan is, unfortunately, brilliant. Attack America in its heartland, and no one will sleep at night, he says. No one will ever feel safe again. Entering the United States through Canada with forged identity documents, Nazari is on the way to Minneapolis to meet the homegrown members of his terrorist cell for the first time. The plan relies on taqiyya, deception, to mislead the authorities. And the greatest deception is that Kansas City is not considered a high-priority target. Federal agencies know something big is in the works, but only Wyandotte County Sheriff Mike Pezzati senses that ground zero will be somewhere in Kansas City. But where? Arrowhead Stadium, the Liberty Memorial, the Kansas Speedway-or perhaps the shopping malls? With the help of his old friend Stannard "St. Jack" Jackson, a former cop with great instincts, despite his personal problems, Pezzati pursues clues across the Midwest. Written by a former prosecutor and army officer with expertise in international and war crimes, Shock Aftershock hits home with suspense, excitement, and a sense of urgency.
