From the publisher's blurb, "An enigmatic covert operative. A skilled FBI agent with a dark past. And a terror plot unlike any in history. An explosion pulverizes the president-elect's helicopter on Election Night. It soon become clear that the group behind the assassination attempt possesses far greater reach than anything the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force has yet encountered and a plot so deeply interwoven in the country's fabric that it threatens to upend America's political system. But as Department of Defense operative Hector DeSantos and FBI Agent Aaron "Uzi" Uziel sort out who is behind the bombing, Uzi's personal demons not only jeopardize the investigation but may sit at the heart of a tangle of lies that threaten to trigger an international terrorist attack. Hailed by political thriller master Vince Flynn as "a smart, complex novel that explodes from the page, " and by blockbuster author Lee Child as "a terrific thriller" that's "fast, hard, and intelligent, " Hard Target is a ticking time bomb that keeps you clinging to the edges of your seat. And turning the pages." 444 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . As New/Fine,
