Synopsis
A government secret about the end of the world will change what&’s left of a man&’s suburban life in this thriller by an Edgar Award–winning author. California businessman J. Middleton Little is on company assignment in Chicago when he&’s caught eavesdropping on a top-secret confab between high-level government officials. J. knows he isn&’t just hearing things; they actually referred to the coming Armageddon. To ensure his silence, J.&’s been offered the chance of a lifetime: seven seats on an &“ark&” scheduled to carry the last vestiges of the human race from Earth before the apocalypse. In a matter of minutes, J. has gone from a self-described &“middle-class, middle-income, middlebrow man-of-the-street&” to one of the most privileged men in the universe. The only stipulation: He can&’t tell a single soul until the proper time. For now, it&’s back to life in Burbank with his dutiful, intuitive wife; an underhanded and scheming son; his impossibly spoiled daughter; his unhinged father; and a mother-in-law whose religious fanaticism is making J. think twice about his role as savior—especially when he finds himself shadowed by an insidious pack of secret agents, counterspies, and a lone madman on a terrifying mission. Soon enough, J.&’s once-ordinary world will be ripped apart by threats, deceit, cover-ups, secrets, and shifting family loyalties. It will also leave J. wondering what he really does know, what he doesn&’t, what he&’s been led to believe, and above all, why. J. Middleton Little has a lot to learn before the end. This smart, inventive thriller by &“the American queen of suspense novelists&” is impossible to put down (New York Telegraph).
