About the book
“Pederson delivers an irresistible thriller… Every chapter races in this fleet-footed debut, teeming with twists and last-minute developments that will shock readers.” – BookLife
EVERYONE HAS SECRETS... SOME ARE JUST MORE DEADLY THAN OTHERS.
Madison Maxwell wanted a fresh start—new job, new city, a chance to finally move on from the tragedy that’s defined her life for twenty years. The unexpected offer from Know Inc., the Silicon Valley tech giant, seems perfect—
—until she learns she’s replacing an employee killed in a mysterious hit-and-run.
—until her charismatic VP boss, TJ Khan, triggers fears she can’t explain.
—until the nightmares return.
Soon Madison can’t shake a terrifying suspicion: Khan isn’t who he claims to be—and what he’s hiding is tied directly to the dark day that killed her father, a day that still haunts her with unanswered questions. To prove she’s right, she would have to cross a line she may not survive.
Across the country, FBI Special Agent Markus Niles is racing to stop a deadly conspiracy poised to strike on an unprecedented scale. Its mastermind remains hidden—and every lead has ended in death.
A new clue points to Silicon Valley.
To Know Inc.
To Madison.
But nothing is what it seems.

Choose your retailer
About the book
In the vein of David Baldacci, John Grisham, and Harlan Coben—this is Steve Berry like you’ve never read him before.
After a ten-year self-imposed exile, Brent Walker is returning home to Concord, a quaint town in central Georgia nestled close to the Savannah River. Two years ago, his father died, and now Brent, hired by Southern Republic Pulp and Paper Company as its assistant general counsel, is returning to care for his ailing mother.
For decades, Southern Republic has invested heavily in Concord, creating a thriving community where its employees live, work, and retire. But the genteel sheen of this quiet town is deceiving, and when a list of cryptic code surfaces, Brent starts to see the cracks.
Southern Republic’s success is based largely on a highly unorthodox and deadly system to control costs, known only to the three owners of the company. Now, one of them, Christopher Bozin, has had a change of heart. Brent’s return to Concord, a move Bozin personally orchestrated, provides his conscience with a chance at redemption. So a plan is set into motion, one that will not only criminally implicate Bozin’s two partners, but also place Brent Walker square in the crosshairs of men who want him dead—with only one course left available.
Find and reveal the shocking secret of the list.
