  “I think his endgame is noble.”

  “And I don’t.”

  “So what are you saying?”

  “I’m saying that I’m out of here. It’s too much—or not enough answers. Take your pick. It’s just not working for me. And quite frankly, I’m scared of what I might become if I continue.”

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I am grateful to so many people who have helped with the creation of this project and the entire Brady Hawk series. I always thought San Francisco would be an interesting place to create a terrorism threat, and after visiting there, it affirmed my suspicions that it would make a great backdrop for a story like this.

  Krystal Wade has been a fantastic help in handling the editing of this book, and Dwight Kuhlman has produced another great audio version for your listening pleasure.

  I would also like to thank my advance reader team for all their input in improving this book along with all the other readers who have enthusiastically embraced the story of Brady Hawk. And don't worry ... there's more Brady Hawk coming soon.
