โฆ Synopsis
America's fiercest enemies infiltrate the nation's highest offices in the new high-velocity thriller by this former FBI agent, and, the author of Black. There is the world of black ops, where agents from nameless agencies do the nation's most covert bidding. This is the world former FBI agent Christopher Whitcomb knows better than anyone--he lived it for years. And now in his novels he can tell the truth about our nation's biggest secrets. There is also the world portrayed in White, a world beyond black ops, in which split-second decisions made by a sniper in the Far East can lead up the channel all the way to the president--with total deniability at every level in between. FBI special agent Jeremy Waller has one of the world's most-wanted terrorist masterminds in his sights, when his multiagency task force is blown wide open by the arrival of two American men. Are they an even more top-secret agency whose agenda has crossed with Waller's? Or are they the most dangerous traitors ever to threaten the future of America? Only Christopher Whitcomb knows the weapons, the strategy, and the people in this world at every level, from the FBI sniper to the president himself. White is another brilliantly plotted thriller from the new mastermind of action and suspense fiction.
