Synopsis:

A white supremacist, barricaded with his family on an isolated Montana mountaintop, holding off the cops with assault rifles.A brilliant hostage negotiator who has failed to come to terms with his personal demons, reluctantly taking leadership of the one case he cant afford to lose.A virtual army of state and local cops, national guardsmen, U.S. Marshals, and the FBI's elite hostage rescue team, clawing for jurisdiction, vowing vengeancefor fallen comrades.A growing crowd of onlookers, sympathizers, and troublemakers, some willing to turn an isolated battle into an all-out war.A mixture as explosive and unstable as nitroglycerine...The Standoff. A stunning debut from a major new talent.


Review:

"Suspense never lets up...[Hogan] relies on realistic detail and his character's personal histories to build to a nail-biting climax."

Ottawa Citizen

Review:

"Hogan takes care with structure, with pacing, with the sound of language, and with the placement of one taut scene after another. His lean, evocative prose ...keeps his story gusting along."
