Black

Special Agent Jeremy Waller is elated to be chosen as a member of the FBI's most elite group: the Hostage Rescue Team. But quickly Waller finds that his missions are taking him off the map, off the grid, off the books, and into the world of black ops-where nobody is who they seem, and no rules apply. Sirad Malneaux is a beautiful killer who may be working for the CIA-or at least the CIA would like to think so. Jordan Mitchell controls one of the largest personal fortunes in the world, as well as some dangerous secrets-and seems to have a propensity for dealing with pretty nasty Saudis. Elizabeth Beechum was head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, but now she's been framed for the murder of a National Security Council attorney. All of them are on a collision course not just with a terrorist mastermind, but with their own demons.

Written with insider expertise that only Whitcomb possesses, BLACK is the most exciting debut thriller in years. Read more
