'Told at a ferocious pace in staccato prose, this thriller truly gets the blood racing' Daily Mail on City of Windows

A series of deadly explosions rock the city of New York and with too many victims and no known motive, the FBI turns once again to Dr Lucas Page.

On a calm New York evening, an explosion shatters through the Guggenheim Museum, killing hundreds. The attack is planned and meticulous, suggesting the many casualties might be hiding a specific target. Only one man has the extraordinary mind to assist with the case.

Retired FBI agent-turned-astrophysicist Dr Lucas Page has a unique perspective on the mathematical planning behind the attack. And when a second bomb rocks the city, Lucas thinks he sees a pattern - but it's not the one the police are pursuing.

Lucas must trust his instincts to find and stop the killer - before countless more lives are lost...

About the Author

Robert Pobi is an internationally bestselling novelist whose work has been published in more than fifteen countries. He spends the summer months in a cabin in the mountains, and when he's not writing at a desk once owned by Robert Calvi, he fishes for everything that swims - from great white sharks off Montauk to the monstrous pike of northern Finland. He collects early twentieth century American art, listens to a little too much Motorhead, and doesn't do Twitter.
