Description:

"Jeff Abbott is one of the finest thriller writers working today." --Harlan Coben

The latest standalone thriller from New York Times bestseller Jeff Abbott

A disgraced intel officer anxious to redeem herself after a disastrous mission, January Holte vows to uncover the identity of a traitor who is selling her agency's secrets. The few clues she's found have led her to a sleepy river town: Lethey, Texas--and to Bill Connors, the one man who might know the truth.

July Whitlock, a rookie bodyguard, searches for his one and only client, who has suddenly disappeared. He follows a trail to Lethey to find his missing protectee--Bill Connors.

But Bill's friends and enemies in Lethey have secrets of their own. And as January and July ask questions no one wants to answer, they find a tangled web of murder, greed, and ambition--one that will kill anyone who tries to unravel its mysteries.

Review Quotes:

"Count on Jeff Abbott to bring the twists. From Paris to Washington, DC, to the wilds of Texas, where a quiet town turns into a hall of funhouse mirrors, January and July is a hold-on-tight roller-coaster ride. With fresh, compelling heroes in January Holte and July Whitlock, plus a cast of deliciously two-faced townsfolk, this novel yanks the rug out from under you again and again. Nothing is as it seems, which is exactly the way I love my thrillers. An absolute blast!"
