Black by Christopher Whitcomb
Selected for the FBI's elite Hostage Rescure Team, Special Agent Jeremy Waller is about to fight terrorism at its source - by diving headlong into a violent world of trapdoor truths and shifting alliances.

Here there is no justice - and only one way out of the darkness: Head even deeper into the shadows.
