A Doomsday prepper and private school custodian must rescue his genius hacker son, who is caught by a brutal drug cartel for electronically siphoning off their funds. By the author of Desperate. - Random House, Inc.
In Daniel Palmerâs electrifying, brilliantly plotted new thriller, a private school campus becomes a battleground as a desperate father takes on a terrifying enemyâ¦.
When Jake Dentâs dreams of baseball glory fell apart in a drunk-driving incident, his marriage did too. In those dark days, a popular survivalist blog helped to restore Jakeâs sense of control. Heâs become an avid Doomsday Prepper, raising his diabetic son, Andy, to be ready for any sudden catastrophe.
Andy, now a student at the prestigious Pepperell Academy where Jake works as a custodian, has a secretâheâs part of a computer club that redistributes money from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. Usually, their targets donât even realize theyâve been hacked. But this time, theyâve stolen from the wrong people: a vicious drug cartel that is coming to get its money backâ¦
Staging a chemical truck spill as a distraction, the cartel infiltrates the Academy, taking Andy and his friends hostage one by one. Jake, hidden inside the schoolâs abandoned tunnels, knows that soon the killing will start. With his training, and a stockpile of weapons and supplies, heâs the last, best hope these studentsâincluding his sonâhave of getting out alive. But survival is no longer an abstract concept. Itâs a violent, brutal struggle that will test Jake to the limit, where there are no rules and no second chancesâ¦
