Is it possible to really know your spouse? Nick Faulkner is about to find out . . . if he can stay alive. Nick—a former FBI star whose career mysteriously tanked—returns home one day to find that his wife Lexi has walked out on him and simply vanished. Then, he discovers she’s part of a cult-like church. He doesn’t believe for a second she’s suddenly found religion, but is convinced she’s been kidnapped and recruits a band of similarly disgraced ex-agents to spring her from the cult’s heavily armed compound. He doesn’t know that powerful forces high in the US government and intelligence services are working to make sure that doesn’t happen. And that they’ll stop at nothing to prevent him from exposing the secrets lurking beyond the church gates. Including murder. As Nick works his way through the shadows of Lexi’s life and tries to sort out the hidden truth behind her disappearance, he tumbles into a sprawling web of deceit and lies thick with betrayal and shifting loyalties, where nothing is as it seems. His quest will bring him face-to-face with enemies foreign and domestic, including traitors, social media “truth tellers,” Russian spies, and well-armed mercenaries. And he’ll have to survive a vast conspiracy determined to keep him from learning the stunning truth about who Lexi really is. Or, perhaps even more shocking, who she isn’t.
