Synopses & Reviews
Undercover work in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the attack on the United States, the Chinese plot that could have led to war — all this has exhausted CIA agent John Wells. But Wells has no time to dwell on his nightmares. He has made enemies, and the world won't stay quiet for long. Still, Wells is not prepared for what is about to happen. He and his fiance, Jennifer Exley, are driving in to work when traffic comes to a standstill — accidents on both bridges leading into Washington. Wells has a bad feeling — and it gets worse when he spots a red motorcycle zooming up between cars toward him. Before the day is over, several people will be dead or severely injured — Exley among them. And Wells will be a man possessed.
