About This Book
Thomas Bolden has done everything right. He escaped a rough childhood, built a career on Wall Street, and found a future worth protecting. Then, in the span of a single day, everything he's built is stripped away — and a shadowy organization with deep roots in American power is determined to make sure he doesn't survive long enough to understand why. Reich taps into a primal fear: not just being hunted, but being hunted by people who have already decided you're guilty. With almost nothing to his name and nowhere safe to turn, Bolden is forced to rediscover instincts he thought he'd left behind forever.
Reich writes with the precision of someone who respects both the thriller genre and his readers' intelligence. The pacing is relentless without becoming exhausting — he knows when to pull back and let tension breathe before tightening the screws again. The conspiracy at the heart of the story is grounded enough to feel genuinely unsettling rather than cartoonish, and Bolden is a protagonist whose past and present collide in ways that give the action real emotional weight. It's the kind of thriller that keeps you reading past the point where you intended to stop.
