Part of John Wells, book 4
First published 2010
A former CIA agent dies in a street shooting. Hours later, an army veteran falls dead at his front door. John Wells receives an urgent summons to Langley. The two victims belonged to an eleven-person interrogation unit that worked from a classified facility in Poland known as the Midnight House. For two years, this team extracted information from captured jihadists using any methods they deemed necessary. Public scandal eventually shut down their operation. The interrogators received commendations for their service and medication for their trauma. Now someone is systematically killing them. Wells seems perfectly positioned to infiltrate Islamic terrorist networks that might want revenge. But as Wells and his supervisor Ellis Shafer follow the murder trail, they uncover connections they never anticipated. Wells must confront difficult truths about the men who served at the Midnight House.
