The Valley of Shadows

NATIONAL BESTSELLER! 

PROTECT THE CLIENT. FIGHT THE HORDE. SURVIVE THE FALL.

Tom Smith, global managing director for security, can see a lot from his Wall Street office. The Statue of Liberty. Battery Park. And everywhere, a ravening zombie horde. Smith is paid to preserve the lives and fortunes of employees, billionaires, and other clients. Now that the infected are tearing through the city, the country, and the world, Tom’s job has gotten a lot harder. Good thing Smith, late of the Australian special forces, isn’t a man to give up easily. But saving civilization is going to take more than the traditional banking toolbox of lawyers, guns, and money.
