Bombmaker

“BOMBMAKER is the bravest novel I’ve read since Robert Stone’s masterpiece, A FLAG FOR SUNRISE. Without question, BOMBMAKER has my vote for debut of the year.”
- Roland Merullo, author of Breakfast with Buddha, A Little Love Story, and The Talk-Funny Girl

Can a dead man speak?

When interrogator Emma Ripley learns of an imminent attack on US soil, she is not surprised. What does shock her is when the most valuable prisoner ever to arrive in custody is handed to her.

Georges Subdallah is a US citizen, long ago radicalized, and the most skilled bombmaker in the world. He is a man long thought dead – the architect of his own horrific suicide bombing years ago.

In him, Emma faces her most complex and urgent counterintelligence order: to extract key intel from him to stop the largest attack in US history.

To do so, she must reach a man willing to die for his cause, who has been held for years in a secret government building, maimed and broken.

To prevent further bloodshed she must learn what made him turn against his country, what brought a model US citizen, with a wife and young daughter, to blow himself up.

A heart-pounding, non-stop, intelligent spy thriller that will have you gripped from the first page. Perfect for fans of Lehane, Grisham, and Freida McFadden.
