On the run, Dan's Navy SEAL experience can only take them so far when pitted against adversaries who don't die. Can he protect Amelia long enough for her to find the answer? And by some magic, is there redemption in the cards for Dan? Either way, life as Dan knows it is over.

David Smith
For David Smith (19061965), widely considered one of the foremost American abstract expressionist sculptors of the 20th century, there was no conceptual boundary between mediums. Focusing on works from the late 1950s until the artists untimely death in 1965, this oversized but trim exhibition catalog charts the development of 21 stunning works couched among historic images culled from the artists archive. The physical qualities of Smiths welded-steel sculptures transmit a strong industrial presence but part of their impact and power derives from their gestural and tactile surfaces that give painting and drawing and sculpture the same visual impact and spatial weight. Smith paved the way for such artists as John Chamberlain, Mark di Suvero and Richard Serra by moving the site of sculptures construction from the 19th-century confines of the artists atelier and fine-art foundry into the expansive, industrial context of the 20th century.

The story that he had to tell--of the brutal murder he had witnessed the previous evening--set in motion the detection of Britain's most infamous serial killings: the Moors Murders. Despite standing as chief prosecution witness at the subsequent trial, David Smith was vilified and hated by a public who knew nothing of the facts behind the accusations thrown at Smith by the killers themselves in an attempt to gain lesser sentences. Myra Hindley's own confession, 20 years later, that she and Ian Brady had lied about Smith's involve...
