Gustave Wallberg, President of the USA and Leader of the Free World, has a dark past. And it’s returned to haunt him. His head is in the sights of Halden Corwin — a man he thought was dead, a man with a sniper’s eye, an assassin’s mind and a grudge that goes back decades. Ex-CIA operative Brendan Thorne is the only man capable of stopping Corwin. But as he stalks his quarry through the frozen forests of Montana, Thorne discovers that the relentless greed and ruthless ambitions of Capitol Hill are far more deadly than the adversary he’s facing. Caught in a web of lies and deceit, it’s not the President’s life Thorne needs to save, it’s his own.
