About The Book

What is more dangerous than the truth? Matt Gage is about to find out.

When investigative reporter Jennie Burkhardt uncovers a link between Russia and the mysterious "Havana Syndrome" attacks, she enlists former CIA operative-turned private eye Matt Gage to verify the source—a Russian defector with ties to a shadowy military intelligence unit. But as Gage plunges headlong into the investigation, he realizes the opposition is far more organized—and closer to home—than he expected.

Gage’s case pulls him into an international hunt, making him the target of powerful adversaries determined to bury the secret. And as the investigation continues, he realizes they’ll stop at nothing to bury him, too.

With powerful forces closing in, Gage faces a harrowing choice: reveal the truth, risking worldwide chaos, or become complicit in hiding a dark conspiracy, betraying his values and humanity.

Dale M. Nelson’s third installment in the Gage Files is a gripping, hard-edged tale of crime and conspiracy—perfect for readers of Nelson DeMille, Michael Connelly, and David Baldacci.
