An escaped convict. High-level corruption. And a plot to kill anyone in the way. Agents Reece Cannon and Tommy Shanahan are plunged into an investigation that pits them against an insidious chemical weapon — a substance that inflicts a slow, agonizing death by suffocation — and one ruthless murder after another. As they race to unearth the truth, Reece and Shanahan are suddenly forced to deal with the hidden agendas of new "partners," all while facing the most dangerous people they've ever come up against. But when a ghost from the past shows up — Jack, a brutal killer and ex-fiancé of Shanahan's wife — a fire truly ignites that threatens to tear everyone's world apart. Is Jack finally getting his revenge? Because the body toll sure makes it seem like he is. When allegiances are as fluid as quicksand, and the truth is as lethal as a bullet, you'll be left breathless with all the jaw-dropping twists and turns. In a pressure-cooker of suspense that will keep you guessing until the final, earth-shattering climax, the only thing to do is . . . Try to Breathe.
