A Knife Edge

Vin Cooper doesn't do easy assignments, and this one starts falling apart before his boots hit the ground.When a Special Forces HALO team drops into hostile territory at night, high above a knife-edge ridge of snow and rock, Cooper is meant to be an observer - an Office of Special Investigations agent along for the ride, nothing more. But the jump goes wrong at altitude, and what should have been a routine op turns into a body on the mountain, a mission that doesn't add up, and an SAS team Cooper isn't sure he can trust. Something was compromised before anyone left the plane, and Cooper means to find out what.The higher he digs, the more the ground shifts beneath him. Every lead doubles back on itself. Every ally starts to look like a possible enemy. Someone inside the operation wants Cooper off the case - or dead - before he can pull the threads together, and the silence closing in around him is louder than any gunfire. In the thin, freezing air above thirty thousand feet, trust is the most dangerous currency there is, and Cooper is fast running out of people willing to spend it on him.Caught between the people he's supposed to protect and the people who are supposed to have his back, Cooper has to work out who's lying, who's dying, and who set the whole operation up to fail - before the mountain, or the men on it, finish the job. The truth is waiting for him in the dark, sharp enough to cut both ways, and there's no way down from here except through it.A Knife Edge is a relentless military thriller that drops investigator Vin Cooper into a world of high-altitude danger, buried conspiracy, and betrayal close enough to touch - the kind of book that doesn't let you catch your breath until the last page.
