In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, when two former Secret Service agents investigate a message from a soldier who was supposedly killed, they're determined to protect his son...even if they pay for it with their lives.

It seems at first like a simple, tragic story. Tyler Wingo, a teenage boy, learns the awful news that his father, a soldier, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Then the extraordinary happens: Tyler receives a communication from his father...after his supposed death.

Tyler hires Sean and Michelle to solve the mystery surrounding his father. But their investigation quickly leads to deeper, more troubling questions. Could Tyler's father really still be alive? What was his true mission? Could Tyler be the next target?

Sean and Michelle soon realize that they've stumbled on to something bigger and more treacherous than anyone could have imagined. And as their hunt for the truth leads them relentlessly to the highest levels of power and to uncovering the most clandestine of secrets, Sean and Michelle are determined to help and protect Tyler--though they may pay for it with their lives.

Library Journal Review

Michelle King and Sean Maxwell, secret service agents-turned-private investigators, spot a teenager running through the woods with a gun in his hand. Michelle gives chase and discovers that the boy, Tyler Wingo, is distressed by the news that his father has been killed in Afghanistan. Strangely, however, Tyler receives a text message from his father a day later and hires King and Maxwell to find out what really happened. Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy do an excellent job reading, ably capturing the repartee and romantic tension between King and Maxwell. Sound effects enhance the drama. VERDICT Highly recommended for series fans and patrons who enjoy witty, exciting mystery/thrillers.-Ilka Gordon, Aaron Garber Lib., Cleveland (c) Copyright 2014.
