From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp Series

Punished for his maverick ways, FBI agent Mark Beamon has been exiled from Washington, D.C., to a sleepy Southwest office where he's got one last chance to play by the rules. But that's not going to happen, not when he's on a case that may be too hot even for his unorthodox talents to handle.

A local millionaire and his wife are brutally murdered. Jennifer, their teenage child and sole heir; is the prime suspect -- and she's gone missing. Laying everything on the line, Beamon sets offon a trail that takes him from a remote survivalist's cabin in the Utah mountains, through the labyrinthine headquarters of a cultlike church, into the shadowy, interlocking boardrooms of a powerful high-tech communications empire.

Just when he thinks he's close to finding answers, Beamon discovers the killing of Jennifer's parents is far more sinister than even he could have guessed. Now he isn't just looking for a young girl -- he's got to stop a bizarre conspiracy that could bring America to its knees...

About this title

Review:

Exiled in a Flagstaff field office after ruffling FBI feathers in Washington, special agent Mark Beamon investigates a double murder and kidnapping and finds that all clues lead to a cult-like church that has friends in high places--including the FBI. Beamon's career is on the line, as is a teenage girl's life, but wherever he goes, the Church of the Evolution mysteriously manages to get there just ahead of him.

Storming is sprinkled with a likeable cast of characters, including a retired wireman for the FBI, a weird ex-Church member who's more than eager to divulge its secrets, and a pretty psychiatrist who inspires Beamon to pump iron, lay off booze and cigarettes, and attempt to clean up his act. But his quick mind and faster mouth get him into plenty of trouble in his efforts to solve this smart, fast suspense thriller.

Stage and screen actor Joe Grifasi (Natural Born Killers, Presumed Innocent) narrates this author-approved abridgment with enough smooth malice to suit the swift pace of the novel. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Jane Adams
