A novel by

 
 
A white supremacist, barricaded with his family on an isolated Montana mountaintop, holding off the cops with assault rifles.

A brilliant hostage negotiator who has failed to come to terms with his personal demons, reluctantly taking leadership of the one case he can't afford to lose.

A virtual army of state and local cops, national guardsmen, U.S. Marshals, and the FBI's elite hostage rescue team, clawing for jurisdiction, vowing vengeance
for fallen comrades.

A growing crowd of onlookers, sympathizers, and troublemakers, some willing to turn an isolated battle into an all-out war.

A mixture as explosive and unstable as nitroglycerine...

The Standoff.  A stunning debut from a major new talent.
