Annotation

When terrorists kidnap the president, a reporter uncovers a shocking conspiracy in this thriller by the award-winning journalist and author of Borderland. The US president has called a summit with top congressional representatives in a swank resort retreat in northern New Mexico. But the confab quickly morphs into a national crisis when the president is kidnapped by Islamic terrorists who have secreted into the country across the US-Mexico border. Reporter Kyle Dawson of the Washington Herald covers this delicate political performance with a jaundiced eye. Using his contacts in the region, he starts investigating how the abduction happened. Along with him is his cousin Raoul Garcia, an ex-Special Forces commando who's highly capable of the measures required to free the president. But when they learn that the terrorists have secured a tactical nuclear weapon from Los Alamos, Dawson and Garcia realize they're up against a conspiracy of terrifying proportions.
