One reviewer called the book “gripping and relentless,” and said it’s “packed with twists, action, and emotional power.” The novel’s plot concerns Hayley Chill, a former White House intern turned MMA fighter and intelligence operative. As she investigates her father’s mysterious death, she uncovers plans for several states to secede from the country. It’s up to Hayley to stop a new civil war, and she must confront the truth about her father’s role in a harrowing chapter of American history.
