No Way Out

When a firebomb lights up the London skies and destroys a posh art gallery in an upscale London district, FBI Profiler Karen Vail is sent across the pond to help Scotland Yard draft a threat assessment. Vail soon discovers that her task is more difficult that it seems when a 440 year-old manuscript that holds clues to England’s past—seems to be at the heart of the bombing. The words on the manuscript’s aged parchment hold dramatic political and social implications and Vail soon discovers that a group of political radicals will do anything to destroy it.

As with this assignment, nothing is what it seems as Vail follows a lead that crosses her path with a notorious fugitive who has been on the run for decades and seems to be plotting a wide scale terrorist attack on London and the United States. Karen Vail finds herself under attack when disgraced DOD agent Hector DeSantos shows up in London determined to silence her. Now Karen Vail is on the run from: British Security, Scotland Yard and a cadre of international assassins, all tightening the noose and ensuring that she’s got no way out.

With his trademark spirited dialogue, page turning scenes and well drawn characters, National Bestselling author Alan Jacobson (“My kind of writer,” as per Michael Connelly) has once again crafted an intelligent, twisting thriller destined to be talked about long after the last page is turned.
