Praise for The Damascus Threat :
"Fast-paced, action-packed first in a new thriller series from Rees—best known for  The Fourth Assassin  and three other crime novels featuring Palestinian sleuth Omar Yussef."
— Publishers Weekly

"This series kickoff...keeps the action and the close calls coming and tucks colorful characters into unexpected corners. Crackerjack entertainment."
— Kirkus Reviews

" The Damascus Threat starts with a bang and gathers speed right out of the box. Matt Rees introduces us to the human but extremely capable Dominic Verrazzano, a special agent from ICE, one of the unsung agencies working in the shadows to keep the United States safe from terrorism. Smartly crafted with a host of authentic characters, this is an outstanding read.”
—Marc Cameron, New York Times bestselling author of Brute Force

" The Damascus Threat reads like it's ripped from tomorrow's headlines, and takes us into the unexplored world of U.S. ICE Agents. Fascinating, suspenseful, and a heck of a good story set inside one of the nation's most secretive law enforcement agencies."
—Mark Sullivan, co-author of James Patterson's Private Paris
