"Since relocating from Iraq to Virginia in 2004 and narrowly surviving an assassination attempt that killed the rest of his family, former translator Arman Bajalan clings to his mundane routine like a lifeline-his daily 6 AM swim followed by work at the Sea Breeze Motel. But when he finds a dead body on the beach, he is sure that the murder is connected to his past. He is still not safe. Meanwhile, Trevor Graves is on the cusp of becoming a billionaire as the head of Decision Tree International, a corporation which has managed to get high-profile government defense contracts by nefarious means"-- - Grand Central Pub
In this âspellbinding and totally original thrillerâ (Philipp Meyer, author of The Son) a lonely veteranâs gruesome discovery throws him right into the face of danger as a twisted investigation unravels the secrets of his dark past.
One early morning on a Norfolk beach in Virginia, a dead body is discovered by a man taking his daily swimâArman Bajalan, formerly an interpreter in Iraq. After narrowly surviving an assassination attempt that killed his wife and child, Arman has been given lonely sanctuary in the US as a maintenance worker at the Sea Breeze Motel. Now, convinced that the body is connected to his past, he knows he is still not safe.
Seasoned detective Catherine Wheel and her newly minted partner have little to go on beyond a bus ticket in the dead manâs pocket. It leads them to Sally Ewell, a local journalist as grief-stricken as Arman is by the Iraq War, who is investigating a corporation on the cusp of landing a multi-billion-dollar government defense contract.
As victims mount around Arman, taking the team down wrong turns and towards startling evidence, they find themselves in a race, committed to unraveling the truth and keeping Arman aliveâeven if it costs them absolutely everything.
