Synopsis: September 12, 2001. Four members of the Klasser family are found dead outside Dallas, Texas. In the wake of 9/11, the Klassers&’ neighbor, Omar Jones—an American citizen of Arab descent—is convicted of their murder. A month before Jones&’ execution, attorney Lije Evans searches for evidence that will prove the man innocent. But Evans&’ quest goes deeper than solving one crime. He is determined to find the secret behind the dark history of sleepy Swope&’s Ridge—and how it ties into his wife&’s murder. Interlocking mysteries lead Evans and his team to the battlegrounds of former Nazi Germany, the dirt roads of Kansas, and a rusty cargo ship in the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, they discover a secret that offers the promise of great power—and the greatest temptation they&’ve ever faced. In the second book of the Lije Evans Mysteries series, bestselling author Ace Collins immerses readers in an intricate and deadly international plot. Racism, betrayal, and death-defying escapes compound an adventure that knows no bounds in this harrowing novel for suspense lovers everywhere.
