New York Times bestselling author David Hagberg's acclaimed Kirk McGarvey series continues with another compelling and timely thriller in Face Off.
Kirk McGarvey is lunching in the Eiffel Tower when terrorists attempt to bring the Paris icon down. He springs into action to stop the attack, only to find there's a much larger plot at stake. One that aims to force the incompetent US President out by pitting him against Russia.
But Putin himself is eager to avoid World War III. When a Russian nuclear weapon goes missing and is found heading to the US, Putin enlists McGarvey's help in stopping it.
The stakes couldn't be higher, and the outcome couldn't be more in doubt. Only McGarvey stands a chance of intervening before it's too late, in a race against time across Paris, Istanbul, Moscow, and Washington, D.C.

Edgar-finalist Hagbergâs action-packed 23rd Kirk McGarvey thriller (after Flash Points) finds McGarvey, a former CIA director and now a âspecial circumstances troubleshooterâ for the agency, and his fiancĂ©e, Pete Boylan, a super tough CIA agent in her own right, in Paris for a much-needed vacation. While lunching at the Eiffel Tower, McGarvey gets one of his premonitions: something is just not right. Using his finely honed powers of observation, he realizes that terrorists have targeted the tower for destruction. With a little help from the local gendarmes, he manages to foil the plot, but Pete falls into the hands of the terrorists. In his effort to rescue Pete, McGarvey contends with cyber spies, unscrupulous Saudi princes, and an inexperienced and volatile U.S. president. He even crosses paths with Vladimir Putin. As usual, the good guys come out swinging against colossal odds. The relentless McGarvey, who lost part of a leg in a previous case and is getting a bit long in the tooth, will appeal to armchair warriors. Agent: Susan Gleason, Susan Gleason Literary.
