Lt. Cdr. David Trevellyan continues to operate on U.S. soil in Grant's testosterone-fueled second adventure to feature the British naval intelligence officer (after Even). After leaving behind seven dead bodies in New York City, Trevellyan reports to veteran liaison officer Richard Fothergill in Chicago, where a rogue British operative, Tony McIntyre, is planning to sell a secret and deadly gas to the tiny West African nation of Equatorial Myene. With Fothergill providing intel, Trevellyan attempts to locate McIntyre with orders to effect a hard arrest, i.e., kill him, and to recover the gas canisters from either McIntyre or the Africans. The stakes rise as more than one bidder has his sights set on the gas, and Trevellyan and Fothergill have only each other to rely on. Trevellyan is macho enough and deadly enough to satisfy the most jaded thriller fan, though he's slower than most readers will be to figure out what's going on. (May)

British agent David Trevellyan left a bit of a mess in New York after his last assignment, and it’s time to get out of Dodge. He heads for Chicago, where he will he be assigned to his next mission and where his contact is Richard Fothergill, a former field agent who has evolved into a well-dressed bureaucrat more concerned with the appearance of competence than its real-world application. A rogue agent accused of stealing a deadly biological weapon has come to Fothergill to broker a deal. Negotiations have broken down, and Fothergill needs Trevellyan to find the agent. Trevellyan isn’t sure if he’s working for the agency or Fothergill, but he believes the threat is real. What ensues is a series of violent confrontations in which Trevellyan stabs, shoots, and bludgeons his way ever closer to the prize. The second Trevellyan thriller—on the heels of the well-received Even (2009)—is a compelling mix of espionage, counterterrorism thriller, and kick-butt urban noir. Author Grant is the brother of Lee Child, and although there are some vague stylistic parallels, the most striking similarity is the breakneck, page-turning pace. --Wes Lukowsky
