Welcome to the Custer Hill Club--a men's club set in a luxurious Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to relax with old friends. But one fall weekend, the club's executive board gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11--and finalize a retaliation plan, known only by its codename: Wildfire.
That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is found dead. Soon it's up to Detective John Corey and his wife, FBI Agent Kate Mayfield to unravel a terrifying plot that starts with the Custer Hill Club and ends with American cities locked in the crosshairs of a nuclear device. Corey and Mayfield are the only ones who can stop the button from being pushed, and global chaos from being unleashed....

Another Great Thriller By DeMille:
John Corey returns in another enjoyable detective thriller by Nelson DeMille. If anything, this book is put together even better than Nightfall. The characters are engaging and often hilarious. I'm sure I laughed out loud five times at Corey's sharp dialogue. FBI wife Kate is also someone to root for. If I had one complaint, it would be that Corey acts out of character just once, suddenly finding himself with moral qualms when he knows the right thing to do, but if he did, the novel would end abruptly,... more info
Couldn't put it down!:
This was the first Nelson DeMille book I've had the pleasure of reading. I plan to go back read all of Detective Corey's adventures!
I have not yet received this book, and it's been more than a month since I ordered it.:
