Never in our history have we experienced a National Terror Threat Level RED. Until Now… A typically mundane day of delegating tasks gets turned upside down when FBI Special Agent and elite team lead Kristi Johnson receives the emergency flash message of a suspected terrorist bombing in St. Louis, Missouri. While surveying the carnage and confusion surrounding the crater in St Louis arch, Special Agent Johnson comes to a horrifying realization that this was indeed a terror attack. Her next action - to make the necessary yet dreaded call to the Department of Homeland Security with the recommendation to raise the national terror threat level to RED - sets the stage for a dizzyingly stunning sequence of events. Never in the history of the United States has all of its citizens experienced the full consequences of Threat Level RED: lock downs, curfews, check points, tracked movements, invasive surveillance, and gut-twisting fear. But this is the hair-raising rollercoaster ride through the heretofore unimagined world of a nationwide National Emergency. Each character in L.Corbin Bey’s debut novel is richly drawn: deeply sensual, beautifully flawed, and exceptionally talented in their chosen professions and art forms. And they must use every skill and sense to navigate this new emergency society - beyond cutthroat competition, unbelievable technology, and raw sexual attraction that threatens to tear them all at the seams. Special Agent Johnson and her FBI special ops team have very little time to decipher the cryptic clues left behind at the crime scene, taunting them into recognizing that the terror spree was far from over. The terrorist’s hubris and contempt for the intellectual capacity of the United States’ best and brightest detectives is tangible and most vile. Human nature makes for strange bed fellows when said humans are stretched to the limit. Join Agent Johnson and her team of elite operators as they battle for the very soul of our country in the midst of Threat Level RED!
