Dead Edge: the gripping political thriller for fans of Lee Child
Jack Ford
Two explosions at the same time.
In two different cities.
Ex-US Navy-turned-investigator Thomas J Cooper knows this is no random coincidence. This is a carefully planned attack calling for war on the US government.
The clock is ticking, and Cooper must stop the perpetrators before the threat of further bombings becomes a deadly reality.
With estranged wife Maddie working beside him, they travel from Washington to Burkina Faso in a dangerous trail to track down the killers. Engulfed in a murderous game, they must be the players with the winning final move
Meet Thomas J Cooper.
Unpredictable. Unbreakable. Unstoppable.
