When a potent firebomb destroys part of an art gallery in an exclusive London district, FBI profiler Karen Vail is dispatched to England to work with Scotland Yard on drafting a threat assessment to head off future attacks. But Vail soon discovers that at the heart of the bombing lies a four-hundred-forty-year-old manuscript that holds clues to England’s past―with dramatic political and social implications. The manuscript’s content is so explosive that a group of political radicals is bent on destroying it at all costs.Or is it the work of someone else? The trail leads Vail to a notorious fugitive who has escaped law enforcement for decades, and who appears to be planning a major attack on London and the United States. When Hector DeSantos, banished from the US Department of Defense and now a rogue covert operative, turns up in England and takes actions that threaten Vail’s life, she finds herself on the run from the British security service, Scotland Yard, and a group of internationally trained assassins―all determined to silence her . . . all tightening the net to ensure that she’s got no way out.With his trademark spirited dialogue, page-turning scenes, and well-drawn characters, national bestselling author Alan Jacobson (“My kind of writer,” says Michael Connelly) has once again crafted an intelligent, twisting thriller destined to be talked about long after the last page has been turned.

Review:

“Vail is a terrific character and...Jacobson knows how to throw in plot twists that are shocking but logical...(in) this outstanding thriller.”
–Library Journal (starred review)
"FBI agent Karen Vail is one of thrillerdom's feistiest heroines, and NO WAY OUT gives her the most original problem yet: who's willing to kill to save Shakespeare's reputation? Jacobson mixes rocket-paced suspense with fascinating history in this thrill ride of a book."
- Joseph Finder, New York Times Bestselling Author

"Alan Jacobson is a wonderfully vivid writer, with a sharp, dark eye for detail. No Way Out captures the vagaries of English society with humor, while not breaking stride from what is a thrilling and uniquely British story.”
- Peter James, Internationally bestselling author

"Jacobson has written the thriller of the year—fast plot, incredible character development, and chilling atmosphere. No Way Out has everything you can ask for in a thriller, plus the bonus of reading a book which you'll re-read and which will never turn up in a second hand bookstore."
- Andrew Gulli, managing editor, The Strand Magazine

“. . . what fun to read! . . . Don’t say you weren’t warned.”
– Kathleen Hennrikus, New York Journal of Books

"Alan Jacobson’s newest installment in the popular Karen Vail series is a riveting jaunt across the pond. The complexity of the plot mixed with the well-researched setting and Vail’s signature style, make for a fast-paced, thrilling read where Jacobson offers you the best ticket in town. “No Way Out” is explosive!"
- Shannon Raab, Suspense Magazine

“No Way Out is the latest in the Karen Vail series. Karen is out of her usual serial killer profiling arena,and deep in black ops and terrorists with DeSantos. The two characters, though different in their approach, are after the same goal...stop a ricin attack in the UK. I liked the interaction between the two main characters and the complexity of operating without official sanctions. Another good addition to the Karen Vail series.”
