Their assassins, vanishing without a trace, have delivered a shocking ultimatum to the American government: set aside petty, partisan politics and restore power to the people, or be held to deadly account.

A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals the killers are elite military commandos, but no one knows exactly who they are or when they will strike next. Only Michael O'Rourke, a former U.S. Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence: a haunting incident in his own past with explosive implications for his country's future....
