Publisher Description
In Wraith, New York Times bestselling Reeves-Stevens team offer a no-holds-barred adrenaline rush perfect for fans of high-speed thrillers.
In 1995, the CIA made a breakthrough that they hid from the world because it would change everything in modern science—but some secrets can't stay hidden. A rogue force has learned how to make disembodied minds capable of lethal action. Ghosts have been weaponized, and now a Russian general has infiltrated the U.S. with a squad of "berzerkers"—an army that can't be killed because they're already dead. Only one person knew the general's plans, but she died in a car crash. The only person who can communicate with her is the cop who was at her side when she died—and now he must race to stop a force that could end life as we know it.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Speculative fiction fans will welcome this cataclysmic thriller featuring zombies, disembodied psychics, and undead armies. Two days after disgraced Arlington, Va., police detective Matt Caidin comforts Laura Hart, a federal agent who's been seriously injured in a car crash, he receives a visit from a mysterious man called Caparelli, who identifies himself as an FBI special agent. Matt tells Caparelli that he ran into Laura at a cafe earlier in the evening, but the agent explains that he spoke to her ghost she died the night of the accident. Caparelli, the director of Project Crosswind, orders Matt to find out from Laura's ghost the plans of Russian general Borodine, who, with his demon assassins, wields the power of the "einstone," a supernatural Nordic talisman. But Matt has to sort out some personal business first. The Reeves-Stevenses (Freefall) sharpen the pulp theatrics with deft characterization, rich atmosphere, and sly condemnations of present-day American culture.
