Kerra Bailey knows the interview that will make her career. Twenty-five years ago, Major Franklin Trapper became America's hero after leading survivors from a bombed Dallas hotel. He spoke publicly for years, then vanished from view. Kerra will do anything for an exclusive, even approaching his estranged son, former ATF agent John Trapper. John wants nothing to do with his father or the bombing that made him famous. But Kerra's questions suggest the official story hides darker truths. When their interview with the Major goes wrong and gunmen attack, John must protect Kerra while hunting the shooters. She doesn't trust this man who shifts between charm and menace. He's hiding evidence from his own ATF investigation. With enemies closing in and nowhere else to turn, Kerra and John work together to expose a web of deception stretching back decades. Someone wants the national hero dead, and the truth about Dallas may destroy everything they thought they knew.
