Rat Trap

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A hijacking at a London airport leads to a manhunt for an arms dealer as the clock ticks down to disaster . . .

Engine troubles start just as the jet is approaching Heathrow. Then, after a harrowing landing, just as everyone breathes a sigh of relief, the hijackers rise up . . .

Their demand: the release of arms smuggler Shafiq Nasoud from a British prison. Authorities decide to transport him to London in case the situation turns desperate—but things go very wrong. Nasoud escapes. Negotiations continue to fail. The hijackers’ leader, an American, appears to be strung out on drugs—and the FBI gets in touch to share some deeply concerning information about another terrorist. Before it all ends, blood will be spilled—but whose?
