Description

A raid on a Pakistan al-Qaeda cell recovers two laptops. When the computers' booby-traps are defused and the computers decrypted and translated, they indicate that al-Qaeda has planned a series of simultaneous attacks in five U.S. cites involving potential dirty bombs, biological weapons, and maybe even a nuclear weapon - on Election Day.

Derek Stillwater, troubleshooter for the Department of Homeland Security is assigned to a multijurisdictional Special Terrorism Activity Response Team (START) to locate the weapons and terrorists in Los Angeles and prevent the attack. They have two days.

As they close in on their targets, Derek begins to think that the intelligence they gathered is a sideshow to distract them from the real target - one of the two candidates for president of the United States.

Advance Praise

"The Valley of Shadows, is a first-rate thriller, well-crafted and relentless, that launches like a rocket and never slows down. Mark Terry is at the top of his form, a slam-bang storyteller, and this novel about L.A. under attack from jihadists is not to be missed."

--Douglas Preston, author of Impact

"Complex and gripping, The Valley of Shadows by Mark Terry is a sprawling tale of espionage, religious fanaticism, and the cost of hubris. With rich characters and superb insider details, it's a deeply satisfying novel that will linger with you a long time."

-- Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Spies

"Not since Thomas Harris's classic Black Sunday has a thriller so brilliantly captured the very real threats posed by modern terrorism as The Valley of Shadows. Mark Terry's terrifying tale reads like prophecy, warning and treatise all rolled into one. And the result is a ticking clock treat that's the very definition of a one-sitting read. Vince Flynn and James Rollins better watch their backs because Mark Terry is coming up fast!"
