"A roller coaster of a novel." —David Baldacci, New York Times bestselling author
Israel: A drone-based terrorist attack kills dozens on a sun-splashed beach in Caesarea.
Washington: America awakens to the shattering news that Vice President Stephanie Davenport has died of an apparent heart attack.
That same morning, a chance encounter on the Washington Metro results in international private investigator Robert Brixton thwarting an attempted terrorist bombing. Brixton has no reason to suspect that the three incidents have anything in common, until he’s contacted by Kendra Rendine, the Secret Service agent who headed up the vice president’s security detail. Rendine is convinced the vice president was murdered and needs Brixton’s investigative expertise to find out why.
In Israel, meanwhile, legendary anti-terrorist fighter Lia Ganz launches her own crusade against the perpetrators of that attack which nearly claimed the lives of her and granddaughter. Ganz’s trail will ultimately take her to Washington where she joins forces with Brixton to uncover an impossible link between the deadly attack on Caesarea and the attempted Metro bombing, as well as the death of the vice president.
The connection lies in the highest corridors of power in Washington where a deadly plot with unimaginable consequences has been hatched. With the clock ticking toward doomsday, Brixton and Ganz race against time to save millions of American lives who will otherwise become collateral damage to a conspiracy destined to change the United States forever.
"Margaret Truman’s Murder in the Metro is a spectacular international thriller of intrigue and conspiracy that I could . . . not . . . put . . . down." —Mark Greaney, New York Times bestselling author

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This strong relaunch of the Margaret Truman franchise from Land (the Murder, She Wrote series) opens with a drone attack on Caesarea, Israel, that kills dozens of beachgoers. A week later, in Washington, D.C., Vice President Stephanie Davenport dies of an apparent heart attack at her official residence. The next morning, former State Department agent Robert Brixton narrowly escapes a suicide bombing in the Metro. Brixton, moved by his daughter's death in a similar attack five years earlier, sets out to solve the mystery of the subway bombing. In the process, he meets Secret Service agent Kendra Rendine, who believes Davenport was murdered. As their two investigations start to overlap, Brixton and Rendine come across an ex-Mossad agent whose search for the perpetrator behind the drone attack seems to connect with their own. The trail eventually leads to villainy in the ranks of America's upper political hierarchy. The suspenseful plot and well-developed characters will keep readers turning the pages to the satisfying ending. Land is a worthy successor to Truman.
