This is NYT bestselling author Alex Berenson's seventh gripping spy novel featuring ex-CIA agent John Wells.

Four American friends working at a giant refugee camp in Kenya get far more than they'd bargained for when they decide to take off for a well-earned break. Bandtis hijack their Land Cruiser, and they awake in a hut: hooded, bound, without food or water - hostages. Enter ex-CIA agent John Wells, who is sent to try to find out what happened. But John is no expert on kidnappings or East Africa. What he finds is like nothing he's ever seen before, and makes him question everything he's previously been told. Only one thing is certain: the clock is ticking and if he doesn't act soon the hostages will be killed, and the US may find itself in a war it never should have started.
