Pearls for an Infidel

Veteran army specialist Adam Moss is on the hunt, tasked with locating the source of electronic transmissions in the mountains of Afghanistan's Hindu Kush. What he doesn't realize is the men he hunts stalk him in turn-with a very specific purpose in mind.

Kat, Adam's wife, doesn't think anything of it when she e-mails him a "we miss you" message with a photo of herself and TJ, the couple's three-year-old son. She certainly doesn't realize a Taliban infiltrator will redirect her loving e-mail to jihadists-delivering Adam into his enemies' hands.

With TJ and Adam held captive, a US-based jihadist cell forces Kat to participate in a plot to strike deep into the American heartland and assassinate the President's children. The success or failure of the mission lies with Kat, a weapon beautifully camouflaged to hide its true nature, and how far she will go to protect her own family.

Dark, suspenseful, and all too probable, Pearls for an Infidel explores how alarmingly vulnerable US military families are to acts of terrorism-and how terrorist cells can use America's cherished open society and freedoms to strike back in retribution for its foreign entanglements.
