Alex Treven is a man in trouble. He sacrificed everything to become a partner in his high-tech law firm. Two deaths and a narrow escape with his own life convince him that the only person who might be able to help him is his estranged brother. They haven't spoken to each other since their mom died but Alex knows that Ben is his only hope.
Ben Treven lives a shadowy life. He's an experienced "elite undercover soldier." He is paid to take care of (as in "eliminate") terrorist targets. Ben agrees to help his brother and travels to San Francisco where he discovers a third person factors into the developing conspiracy -- Sarah Hosseini, a young Iranian American lawyer.
Thriller fans will find much to like in FAULT LINE. A fast, exciting summer read!
