Starred Review. The Yale campus becomes the site of an increasingly tense siege in this stunning novel from bestseller White (Dead Time).
After unidentified attackers quietly take over a building belonging to
one of Yale's secret societies, they transform it into a virtual
fortress holding an unknown number of students hostage. As officials
become aware of what has happened, the response escalates in predictable
fashion, but these hostage takers are completely unpredictable. They
make no demands, agree to no negotiations and execute or release
hostages as they choose. Suspended Boulder, Colo., policeman Sam Purdy
eventually teams with maverick FBI agent Christopher Poe and CIA terror
expert Deirdre Drake in an effort outside official channels to figure
out what's going on. Brilliantly conceived and executed, this
intellectually challenging and provocative thriller brings home the
lesson that 9/11 might have been a mere prelude to more sophisticated
assaults.
