      Set in an uncomfortably familiar future... We built a wall to keep the dangers of the world out...but was it actually meant to keep us in? Your every word is monitored. Your every movement watched. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. And if you stay within the wall, the Loyalist Party will protect you. Gideon Frome knows that safety is an illusion. Ten years ago, his perfect life was shattered, and he left Washington DC in disgrace, sentenced to serve on The Wall. He may be back, lauded as a hero, but he knows he's only traded one prison for another, assigned a position to the infamous Secret Service. Kate Buchanan uses her illegal predictive engine to monitor the "chatter," flagging perceived threats to America. When the program suggests that nuclear war is imminent, and people around her start to die, Kate can no longer hide. She needs help, and it comes from the most unlikely place--Gideon Frome, a ghost from her past. The American people thought they were safe, but it's becoming shockingly clear that the price of safety is too high. And somehow, together, Kate and Gideon must tear down the walls that keep their country a prisoner.

      A woman with a rare genetic illness must uncover her connection to a terrorist group before their next attack in this exciting new bio-thriller from the author of Disease X. Lucas Grafton has spent the last ten years hunting the Conclave, a secret organization who took everything from him, including his very identity. Now he has a lead--an imminent terrorist attack on London--code-named "Descartes". But he can't connect the dots until a seemingly innocent woman appears during his stakeout. Jenna Young can't believe she was attacked and barely escaped with her life. Now she's on the run with a stranger...and racing against the clock. With only a note left by her father after his death, telling her to use the code-word "Descartes" to get the pills that slow the progression of her illness, Jenna has only days before her body will start to rapidly deteriorate. Lucas and Jenna must piece together why she's wanted by a terrorist group she's never heard of. And why, despite her claims that she needs an unknown and presumably illegal drug to stay alive, she seems to be getting stronger by the day...
