A terrifying trend sweeps America—a young woman walks into a bustling mall, douses herself with gasoline and lights a match. She's the first to burn. She won't be the last.
Hour by hour, America locks down beneath an endless human firestorm. The media report nothing else - creating an information smokescreen just as a new President of the United States prepares for inauguration.
Freelance CIA agent Chris Wren doesn't care about politics—until he sees America's most infamous serial killer standing next to the President-elect. His name is 'the Apex', and he is Wren's father.
Along with the brilliant Sally Rogers, Wren will fight to the last to bring the Apex down. But his father has plans darker than Wren could possibly imagine, stretching back decades. Maybe this time there's nothing he can do...
The storm is coming, and there is no shelter in sight.
