What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

An undercover CIA officer has seven days to save her country from the world's most dangerous double-agent.

The CIA's highly classified Special Activities Division is in the business of tracking people down and keeping secrets hidden. Then a botched field operation reveals some dark dealings between an officer's superiors and an informant, dealings she's not supposed to know about. And a plot that could kill thousands of Americans. Including her husband and daughter.

Knowing that her leadership is corrupt to the core, intelligence officer Amy Cornwall is forced to give up her identity and to work from the shadows. But it's not easy staying hidden when your enemies are elite intelligence operatives.

Will she get the truth out into the light before losing her identity, her history, her family?

The countdown has already begun.

    The Guardian

  • No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent – which is what Jim has, in spades

    Lee Child

  • The master storyteller of our times

    Hillary Rodham Clinton

  • It’s no mystery why James Patterson is the world’s most popular thriller writer . . . Simply put: nobody does it better

    Jeffrey Deaver

  • Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It’s what fires off the movie projector in the reader’s mind
