Hard Target

National bestselling author Alan Jacobson returns with a story as fresh as the headlines, a novel that moves him into the thriller writer elite When an explosion pulverizes the president-elect’s helicopter on election night, it soon becomes clear that the group behind the assassination attempt possesses a far greater reach than any the FBI has encountered before. With the Joint Terrorism Task Force facing a dearth of leads while under pressure to restore public confidence, the president directs its chief, Special Agent Aaron Uziel, to do “whatever it takes to find those responsible.” Uziel enlists the assistance of an old friend, covert operative Hector DeSantos, who is a member of the elite Special Forces group known as OPSIG. But despite years of experience defusing crises and thwarting global terror plots, Uziel and DeSantos are ill-prepared for what they discover: a plot so deeply woven into the nation’s fabric it threatens to upend America’s political system.Hard Target is a “ripped from the headlines” time bomb that keeps you clinging to the edge of your seat—and turning the pages.
