Dead Watch

It is late afternoon in Virginia and a woman is on the run. Her husband, a former US Senator named Lincoln Bowe, has been missing for days. Kidnapped? Murdered? She doesn't know, but she thinks she knows who's involved and why. And that she may be next. Hours later, a phone rings in the pocket of Jake Winter.

The disappearances are bad, but when a blackened body shows up barb-wired to a tree, he knows there is much worse to come... The White House is his main client and the Chief of Staff is on the phone now. If Bowe isn't located soon, Winter is told, all hell will break loose. What Winter doesn't realise is that all hell will break loose anyway. And he will be right in the middle of it. Large forces are at work, men determined to do whatever it takes to achieve unprecedented ends. Before the next few days are over Winter will discover he has to use every one of his resources not only to prevail... but just to survive. And so will the nation...
