Desmond “Dez” Limerick possesses a rare and specialized skill set that makes him the go-to operative when shadowy government agencies need someone they can trust. As a trained gatekeeper, he can breach any entrance, hold it open for the duration of a mission, and maintain airtight control over who passes through. When a team of scientists researching neutrinos along the Newfoundland coastline suddenly goes silent, Dez is tapped to lead a squad into the facility and uncover the truth. With someone he cares about deeply among the missing, he doesn’t need much convincing. The trouble begins before they even arrive. Shady corporate figures attempt to buy their way onto the flight, and brutal weather throws the entire operation off course, forcing the team to improvise their approach. What Dez doesn’t yet know is that a killer is already embedded within his own ranks, and the facility itself has been quietly taken over by ruthless operatives who will eliminate anyone standing between them and their objective. This series continues to hit new heights with every installment. Author Byrne masterfully ratchets up the tension and delivers pulse-pounding action sequences, all while keeping the tone laced with sharp wit and an infectious sense of fun. Do yourself a favor and rush out to get this one, then find a quiet corner and don’t come up for air until the final page. It’s an absolute thrill ride from start to finish.
