Cold Spring

Alone in his office just before Christmas, Federal Prosecutor Harry Bryce receives a call from an attorney offering inside information of a plot to smuggle high-tech drone and missile guidance systems to terrorists in Central Asia. Recently divorced after allegations of alcoholism, Bryce is thinking only of spending time with Tess, his four-year-old daughter, not the grand jury investigation of a defense contractor. Over the next 72 hours, Bryce—betrayed by insiders, including his sexy paralegal, and targeted by assassins—must thwart a conspiracy that reaches high into the Justice Department, threatening national security and the life of his own child. Joined by a rogue FBI agent, Bryce faces an ancient cabal of foreign arms smugglers in an Armageddon at a backwater airfield on the southern tip of New Jersey called Cold Spring.
