John Lutz and David August

After Will Harper is injured in the field as a bomb squad officer for NYPD, he retires early, and instead of letting his wife go forward with selling their beaten-down brownstone, decides to fix it up as physical and emotional therapy. But when his former partner is blown up along with a paranoid bestselling author and his Florida estate, Harper's idle days are over. Suddenly Harper is tracking a serial killer who is as expert in explosives as any terrorist, and not too shy about selecting targets from the center of the celebrity spotlight. With a former partner and a resurrected dead case file, Harper seeks out help from the FBI, but not from their most inside agents. He chooses an African-American woman, whose gender and race put her on the outside of the political fast track of ascension, but whose savvy and creative, critical thinking make her the perfect ally to bring in the Celebrity Bomber. A fast-paced, gritty suspense novel guaranteed to keep listeners on the edge of their seats
