Collateral Damage

In the heart of New York City, chaos breaks out as an extremist faction calling itself the Patriot Front launches a coordinated assault on a federal courthouse. What begins as a violent demonstration quickly escalates into something far more dangerous-an organized insurgency with national consequences. FBI Special Agent Jessica Stone, a seasoned domestic terrorism expert still carrying the scars of past operations, is pulled back into the field to contain the threat before the city spirals out of control.
She's paired with Maya Devlin, an idealistic cyber analyst whose skill in decoding hidden communications may be the key to stopping the next attack. Together, they uncover a covert network of encrypted transmissions embedded in pirate radio signals, leading them from Brooklyn safe houses to abandoned rail yards in Queens. But as the investigation tightens, an unsettling pattern emerges: every step forward is being anticipated.
Every move is compromised. The threat isn't only outside the Bureau. Someone inside the FBI is feeding intelligence directly to the enemy. As the body count rises, all evidence points toward a larger objective-a catastrophic strike on the Federal Reserve designed to trigger nationwide financial panic and destabilize the government itself. At the center of it stands the masked leader of the Patriot Front, preparing to broadcast a message that could ignite a broader uprising.
With trust collapsing around her and the clock running out, Stone must navigate a battlefield of deception inside her own agency while hunting a threat determined to reshape the country in real time. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she's forced to confront a dangerous question: what if the system she's fighting to protect is already compromised?Collateral Damage is a razor-sharp FBI thriller of conspiracy, betrayal, and high-stakes suspense, perfect for fans of Mark Greaney, Meg Gardiner, and Homeland.
