Behind the Books — Terminal List Book 5: In the Blood
In this special collection of Danger Close episodes, Jack sits down with Atria Books Deputy Director of Publicity, David Brown, and IRONCLAD Director of Original Content, Jesse Carey, to break down each novel in his bestselling Terminal List series.
The latest installment in the series, ONLY THE DEAD, releases this week.

A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel. Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky.
Over 6,000 miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news. One face triggers a distant memory of a Mossad operative attached to the CIA years earlier in Iraq—a woman with ties to the intelligence services of two nations…a woman Reece thought he would never see again.
Reece enlists friends new and old across the globe to track down her killer, unaware that he may be walking into a deadly trap.
