“This is a great beach read.” –USA TODAY Network.In the remote Four Corners region of Colorado, Special Agent Nathaniel Arkin, a disgraced former intelligence officer, investigates the killing of a bigoted, vitriolic preacher who was about to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. In processing the murder scene, Arkin thinks he recognizes the modus operandi of a shadowy group he … group he pursued and was on the verge of exposing years earlier, just before his abrupt fall from grace and exile from Washington, D.C. Rumored to be run by a self-righteous, lapsed Jesuit priest, it was a group Arkin long suspected of orchestrating an international assassination campaign targeting charismatic, fledgling fanatics—future Hitlers and bin Ladens—just as they emerged from obscurity, before they were capable of instigating mass murder. Reluctant, but aching for redemption, Arkin resumes the chase, setting in motion a chain of events that could lead to his salvation—or his doom. Along the way, he confronts a question that has troubled him for many years: What creates murderous fundamentalists and fanatics like Hitler and bin Laden in the first place?
This is the first of a two-book series.

pleasant surprise to read such an interesting book after so many poor competitors
Good read keeps you reafing to the very end dont know whos guily
This book was GREAT!!!! Of course part of the reason I liked it so much is that Durango is about 90 miles from where I was born and raised and most of the towns and areas in the book were very accurately portrayed. Please read it!
Stayed up much too late reading this!
Keeps you guessing. Only problem is you must read the next book to get an ending.
Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!~~
Very easy read. I was surprised at the end that it didn’t complete the story as to the main character’s outcome. Definitely would lead to another book that I would read.
Great read from an author I had not read. Well thought out and skillfully written.
Wow, what a great book. Can’t read the rest because they are all on Kindle not Nook so that was a bit disappointing. If I ever get a Kindle I will try to remember these.
Great read.
Excellent!!! 5 Star. Wish apple iBooks carried the rest of DB Alexander’s books!!
Great book
It was a good book full of twist and turns.
Excellent Sniper story
Great read. Lots of plot twists, interesting characters and action packed.
Engaging
Liked this one and was tempted to read book two which I purchased and read. Liked them both alot.
didn’t really have an ending
Held my interest throughout. Was disappointed that this is apparently the beginning of an ongoing case, like the old soap operas. I prefer books where the particular case center to the book is somehow resolved. I then have the option to move on with the characters and author to a new case.
A great story with plenty of action, suspense and mystery to make the book hard to put down.
