An electrifying new series featuring Irene Rivers (code name- Wolverine), the unforgettable FBI Director from New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap's blockbuster, award-winning Jonathan Grave thrillers. Fans of action-packed page-turners by Catherine Coulter, Patricia Cornwell, and Tess Gerritsen are in for a treat, as Irene escapes the treacherous power games of Washington-only to face a new and equally deadly enemy in a rural West Virginia town...

She thought her family would be safe here. The lovely farm nestled in the heart of West Virginia's coal country looks like the perfect refuge from the backstabbing maelstrom of DC politics. But this seemingly peaceful new home is anything but safe for former FBI director Rivers and her children. In the middle of the night, a gunshot booms from her older daughter's bedroom. Irene rushes in to find a young man crumpled on the floor-and 20-year-old Ashley holding a smoking gun.

By itself, the incident is thoroughly upsetting. But its undercurrents are even more disturbing. The intruder is the son of a powerful family that owns the local coal mine - and thus controls everything of importance in the area. As tensions rise, Irene learns the mine owners have seemingly befriended her 12-year-old nephew. It's the first step in an escalating game of unspoken threats and outright intimidation she'd expect from a crime syndicate. She won't get any help from the local police force. And she's burned too many bridges in Washington to tap into the vast resources of the FBI. This time, Irene Rivers is on her own . . .

Packed with nail-biting suspense, gripping human drama, and searing political intrigue, Burning Bridges takes readers into a compelling world of unseen dangers and unexpected heroes.
