Description

When researcher Jawad Khattib gasps his last breath on the Massachusetts General Hospital floor, the Department of Homeland Security wants answers—especially after a preliminary autopsy suggests he died of radiation poisoning. What exactly was Khattib working on? And who was he working for? DHS Agent Lee Jansen is rushed to Boston and paired with expert toxicologist Dr. Emma Hess to crack the case. All evidence points to the creation of a dirty bomb, but the clues seem too clean, too obvious. During the course of their investigation, they discover the horrible truth. This new weapon is far more deadly than anyone had expected. It isn’t just capable of killing hundreds—it’s capable of killing hundreds of thousands. Can they stop what’s been set in motion by a madman with a dangerous secret before it’s too late?

Advance Praise

"The mysteries begin piling up early on, and the action-packed opening scenes grab readers by the throat and refuse to let go. The last 1/4 of the book is a non-stop roller coaster, and few readers will be able to stop before they reach the final page. Shusko has laid the groundwork for a gripping Tradecraft series, and given how Vector ends, readers can expect even bigger and more dangerous thrills in the books to come." -Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½

"Looking for your next thriller page turner? This may be the book for you [...] The agents in the book use their technical expertise to try to make sense of what could be a very dangerous situation. This book leaves you wanting to keep reading just so that you know what happens." -He Said Books or Me

"An exceptionally well-crafted thriller." -Midwest Book Review

"[...] a mind boggling, frazzling (in a good way) thriller [...] you become immersed and feel like your watching a movie or even walking and talking right along side with the characters themselves." -Pastries and Novel Thoughts

"From the very first page...I was hooked. [...] [Shusko] has the ability to make the reader want to stay up all night, flipping page after page, to see what happens next." -Tyra's Bookshelf
