Description
A Michael & Ann novel — a high-velocity thriller where competence collides with conscience.
Michael Johnson spent years in the shadows—special operations in Africa, elite protection work across Europe. Now he wants peace with Ann in the Willamette Valley. The blast changes everything. With the FBI and ATF sifting ruins and the killers still moving, Michael reaches for contingency plans he hoped he’d never need: safe locations, clean identities, quiet allies, and a methodical path to the people who pulled the trigger.
Ann won’t be protected out of the story. Training turns to muscle memory; fear becomes fuel. As the trail sharpens—through burned cars, staged alibis, and a family empire that treats murder as management—Michael and Ann push past survival toward justice. The deeper they go, the sharper the questions: what line won’t they cross, and what will crossing it make of them?
