Who is Nola Brown? She is a mystery, she is trouble, and she is supposed to be dead. Her body was found on a wrecked plane that left a secret Army base in Alaska. Her commanding officer verifies she's dead, but Jim "Zig" Zigarowski has just found out that Nola is alive, and on the run. Together, she and Zig will either reveal a sleight of hand being played at the highest levels of power, or die trying to uncover the Army's most mysterious secret—a conspiracy dating back to the time of Harry Houdini.

"Not since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo have you seen a character like this. Get ready to meet Nola. If you've never tried Meltzer, this is the one."—Harlan Coben
