Broken Wings

More about the book

An electrifying novel of intrigue, Broken Wings moves beyond the authors' New York Times best-selling nonfiction—and takes readers along on a furious psychological duel between the nation's top profiler and a ruthless criminal mastermind.The director of the FBI is dead. Officially it's being called suicide; unofficially, it's a murder. On the first morning of his retirement as head of the FBI's Behavioral Science Profiling Unit, Jake Donovan is summoned back to Quantico—and into the most dangerous, volatile, and politically charged case of his career.After suffering a brutal attack from assailants who may have been linked to the director's death, Jake enlists an elite team of "broken wings"—damaged-goods agents like himself who have been frozen out of the FBI. Equipped with a state-of-the-art airplane that serves as a mobile lab and headquarters, this secretly funded rogue squad of expert mindhunters is going to do what the Bureau can't or won't: follow the trail of evidence, no matter where it leads, no matter whom it implicates.
