Summary

This second standalone globe-hopping thriller in the Executive Series finds Secret Service Agent Scott Roarke confronted with Russian spycraft, murder in the White House, and a frenzy fueled by the country’s leading hate talk radio personality.

“As topical as tomorrow’s Internet blog…fast-paced, with vivid characters and a plot right off the front pages. Surprises you on every page. A winner.”—LARRY BOND, New York Times bestselling author of Artic Gambit

The terrorists who came within a heartbeat of undermining the presidency of the United States in Executive Actions are back in Executive Treason with a new—and deadlier—plot to destabilize the U.S. government. It begins with the mugging and murder of a female White House staffer. Secret Service Agent Scott Roarke discovers the larger truth: the murder was committed by his secret nemesis, the mysterious assassin who had stayed one step ahead of him during the presidential campaign. This time, Roarke has found clues about the assassin’s past that give him the tools he needs to hunt the hunter and also silence a popular hate talk radio host dividing the country. But the clues can only go so far. Roarke needs all his skill and a huge amount of luck if he’s going to catch his quarry.

“More chilling than science fiction. Gary Grossman shows how the media itself can become a weapon of mass destruction. You’ll never listen to talk radio again without a shiver going down your spine.”—GARRY GOLDMAN, executive producer of Minority Report and screenwriter for Navy SEALs and Total Recall
