From America's legendary filmmaker Andrew Davis and award-winning journalist and writer Jeff Biggers comes a propulsive debut thriller set in the aftermath of a global nuclear weapons crisis.
A rogue general's plot to disrupt a global peace summit in Chicago collides with a detective's breakthrough on a civil rights cold case at a mysterious archaeological site.
Chicago detective Randall Jenkins has not been back home to the historic Civil Rights hotspot of Cairo, Illinois since the disappearance of his mother, a well-known journalist, several decades ago.
That all changes the day Dr. Molly Moore, an ambitious young archaeologist in the national spotlight for her groundbreaking high-tech discoveries, uncovers a set of strange bones at a huge 12,000-year-old site at a highway construction project. With retired military general and contractor William Alexander breathing down her neck to cover up the dig, Molly and Randall soon find themselves in the middle of a wild military conspiracy.
In the tradition of Davis' landmark film work, including the Oscar-winning “The Fugitive”, “Under Siege”, and “The Package”, the detective and archeologist's entwined family mysteries suddenly thrusts them into the central position as the only people who can ensure the safety of the ongoing Chicago global peace summit. They must take on the rogue general who views any disarmament agreement as a clear and present danger to the United States. The fate of global peace and the lives of Molly and Randall hang in the balance.
