Book Description:
Ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden has seen enough of the inside of a solitary confinement cell to last him a lifetime.Or two lifetimes, which is the sentence he's serving after being convicted of a plan he was planning to commit, but never did. So when an old buddy shows up with a deal that could spring him from his hell behind bars, he's ready to listen.

To gain his freedom, Jesse must infiltrate a dangerous and reclusive religious cult that has been stockpiling weapons and eliminating those sent to investigate. From the moment he arrives in the Idaho mountain town where the cult is centered, Jesse finds every aspect of life dictated by the group's eerie, imposing leader. Pitted against not only the cult, but also the feds who sent him, Jesse feels control of his own life slipping away, and must make a final,desperate attempt to regain it -- or die trying.

Classic Woods. No-nonsense, slam-bang storyteller with fascinating characters and wonderful plot twists. Ex-DEA Agent, imprisioned, tries to clear his name & reputation and gain his freedom.

Former DEA agent goes to prison for a crime he did not do, only to offered a chance for freedom if he takes on a mission for those who set him up. Great characters and plot. Excellent weekend read!

A text-book page-turner. Incessant danger, brave, smart hero and bad guys who terrorize with impunity. Grittier than his Stone Barrington books.
