Description: When the son of an infamous kidnapper gets abducted, nobody is safe.

Alex Mercer could use a break. But, as usual, he can’t catch one. He’s overburdened with best man duties, familial changes, and work obligations. The three responsibilities collide when his daughter’s boyfriend is taken, his best friend is targeted, and officers and agents go missing. He knows there must be a link, but he’s the only common denominator—a fact that doesn’t bode well for job security. Or his loved ones’ safety.

On top of all that, another teen is missing, and Alex lands the case. But this time, the kid is a suspect in a double homicide. He’s on the run, and the cops have no leads.

One little town shouldn’t have so many big problems. Alex is in the middle of all of them, and he's running out of time…

Product: The Deserter: A Novel (Scott Brodie Series)
Description: *NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*

An “outstanding” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) blistering thriller featuring a brilliant and unorthodox Army investigator, his enigmatic female partner, and their hunt for the Army’s most notorious—and dangerous—deserter from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille.
When Captain Kyle Mercer of the Army’s elite Delta Force disappeared from his post in Afghanistan, a video released by his Taliban captors made international headlines. But circumstances were murky: Did Mercer desert before he was captured? Then a second video sent to Mercer’s Army commanders leaves no doubt: the trained assassin and keeper of classified Army intelligence has willfully disappeared.

When Mercer is spotted a year later in Caracas, Venezuela, by an old Army buddy, top military brass task Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor of the Criminal Investigation Division to fly to Venezuela and bring Mercer back to America—preferably alive. Brodie knows this is a difficult mission, made more difficult by his new partner’s inexperience, by their undeniable chemistry, and by Brodie’s suspicion that Maggie Taylor is reporting to the CIA.

With ripped-from-the-headlines appeal, an exotic and dangerous locale, and the hairpin twists and inimitable humor that are signature DeMille, The Deserter is the first in a timely and thrilling new series from an unbeatable team of True Masters: the #1 New York Times bestseller Nelson DeMille and his son, award-winning screenwriter Alex DeMille.
