Summary: The world believed Daniel Burke was dead. At least, the few people in the government who knew he existed did. Once part of an elite black op team, Burke faked his death so he could avenge the death of his brother. Now that those responsible have been brought to justice, he plans to leave the country and start a new life, but before he can get away, his former boss and teammates have tracked him down. The CIA believes Daniel Burke is a traitor—an enemy of the state—who must answer for his crimes. Others simply want him dead. Burke has been framed, and he is the only one who can track down and expose the real traitor—before it’s too late.

Thoughts: This is a sequel to The Killing Room, which I have not read. I found that there was enough context provided so that this did not present any real barriers to understanding the action and storyline. It is non-stop spills and thrills - an action lover's dream combination of espionage, car chases, hand-to-hand combat and shootouts! Yet the underlying plot is strong enough to support the story. And despite Burke's despicable deeds in the past, he is actually quite vulnerable and likeable. If you are a fan of Jack Reacher or Jason Bourne, then this is a must-read for you.
