A Thriller
by Connor Sullivan
This "adrenaline rush of a novel" (Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author) follows a shadow operative in the midst of a conspiracy with worldwide implications from the author of the "fast-paced international thriller" (New York Journal of Books) Sleeping Bear.
Set a trap... See who comes.
Under the direction of the Special Activities Center in the Operations Directorate of the CIA, over three hundred highly trained agents operate in the darkest shadows of the country's covert wars. Plucked from the highest echelons of America's special mission units, these individuals go through rigorous training by the Agency to perfect the arts of assassination, sabotage, infiltration, and guerrilla warfare.
According to the United States government, this Ground Branch of the CIA does not exist. But when diplomacy and military intervention fails, the President of the United States calls upon it to solve America's most dangerous crises.
Brian Rhome, a former Ground Branch paramilitary officer, thought his time within this elite group was over. But now, he's on a desperate race against time around the globe as he confronts the traumas of his past and unravels a deadly conspiracy that threatens the highest levels of American democracy.
"Sullivan's clever rhetorical tricks will keep even savvy readers in the dark while he ratchets the tension ever higher. By the end, readers will be exhausted, breathless, and eager for further Ground Branch adventures. Sullivan is a writer to watch." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An unrelenting pace and deep research make Wolf Trap a must-read thriller from a brilliant new talent in the genre." —Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of In the Blood
"From the White House Situation Room to the killing fields of Yemen, Wolf Trap is a fast, complex, and thrilling novel that shows without a doubt - if you didn't know this already - that Connor Sullivan is one of our must-read writers." —Nick Petrie, author of the Peter Ash series
"An adrenaline rush of a novel! Starting this action-packed, country-hopping, plot-twisting thriller is guaranteed to keep you mesmerized till the final page. Buckle up and enjoy the ride." —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Step Too Far
"Connor's Wolf Trap is shockingly well researched. The afterburners kicked in from page one, and I couldn't turn the page fast enough." —Brandon Webb, New York Times Bestselling author of Steel Fear
