The motive: the friend, a VP for VMI, a defense contractor, discovered that someone at VMI is stealing classified information and selling it to the enemy. The traitor could be anyone, including the company's CEO or one of an entourage of overpaid and incompetent executives.
As McCall investigates, suspects and people who might provide leads start dropping like flies â€" and his efforts are stymied by the police, a politically ambitious DA and a congressman receiving payoffs from the defense contractor.
In this action-packed, edge-of-your-seat adventure you meet some of the most frightening characters ever portrayed in any type of literature â€" vicious men with such lack of conscience, so obsessed with greed and avarice, that they make serial killers seem tame in comparison.
But they have never encountered a man like McCall, whose rage turns lethal when they murder another of his friends and attempt to kill his fiancé. Resorting to the CIA training that earned him a reputation as the world's most dangerous man, the hunters become the hunted in a nail-biter that is a mesmerizing, powerful tale of good vs. evil with a surprising ending.
