Die Trying

One piece of intel could blow up a treaty—and an operative’s life—in this new black-ops thriller by the USA Today bestseller and “major talent” (Douglas Preston).

When Aaron “Uzi” Uziel, head of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, receives highly protected intelligence that has the potential to throw the Middle East into turmoil, the CIA orders him to stand down—the information could compromise sensitive negotiations. But after Uzi discovers that the intel carries implications that impact not only national security but his own life, career, and family, he cannot ignore it.

With such high stakes, Uzi enlists the assistance of FBI profiler Karen Vail and covert operatives Hector DeSantos and Alex Rusakov for a blacker-than-black mission as they travel halfway around the world to verify the intel. But when the mission, which reaches the upper echelons of the US government, turns deadly, Uzi and DeSantos must pull out all the stops to track down those responsible for engineering the venomous plan. Or they will die trying . . .
