An elusive terrorist. A city on razor's edge. Twenty-four hours to stop a massacre.

Former NYPD detective Thomas Austin is enjoying a rare date at a Monday Night Football game in Seattle when the evening takes a horrifying turn.

A team of merciless terrorists has taken over the stadium by force, blocking cellphone signals and sealing the exits.

The terrorists have a single demand: release a high-ranking Al Qaeda operative from a U.S. supermax prison. And they have a simple threat: do so in the next twenty-four hours or they will blow up the stadium, killing themselves along with tens of thousands of innocent victims.

With 60,000 fans in the crosshairs, and the world watching live on TV, Austin must work with security inside the stadium to find a weak point in the terrorists' plans before the countdown ends. But the closer he gets to the attackers, the more he believes their true plan is even more sinister than anyone would believe.

In the ultimate race against time, Thomas Austin will be tested in ways he never has before, and forced to answer the question: would you sacrifice someone you love to save a thousand strangers?

A group if terrorists have infiltrated Seattles football stadium as security workers.
After planting explosives they wait until half time to take over.
Unfortunately for them off duty lawmen are in attendance. Will they be able to save everyone.
Although this is a good story it could have had a bit more drama and suspense. It needed to make you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.

This fifth book in the series is a guaranteed page turner. Each book has built on the main characters and made them very believable. The stories are all nicely different and it's great to have them set in the PNW. I'm really looking forward to reading the next couple of books.
