Since returning from Bosnia, ATF agent Alex "Rocket" Duarte has been slowly reacclimating to life in South Florida. But when a gunrunner's car explodes, Duarte's life kicks into high gear in a high-profile hunt for what appears to be a serial bomber. Teamed up with a lawyer from the Department of Justice who herself is looking into possibly related bombings in Virginia and Seattle, Duarte crisscrosses the country, following the bomber and hoping to anticipate his next move, but as he peels away the layers of deception, the lines between friends and enemies begin to blur-and the results are explosive.
"Born dedicates his fourth novel to Elmore Leonard, whose influence is evident. Leonard's best books (think City Primeval, 1980) have been urban noir with flawed, hard-bark protagonists consumed by the pursuit. Duarte would fit right in. Born has talent and momentum; don't be surprised if, soon enough, he has his own, Leonard-like breakthrough."
Booklist
"Though this is primarily a blood-and-guts thriller, the story includes a few sensitive issues. Davis handles those moments with a gentle and persuasive touch. His accents are also first-rate."
