From the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews) comes a groundbreaking new political thriller series: when the President of the United States or his family are threatened, it is up to Jake Mercer, former Marine sniper turned Secret Service agent, to protect them from dangers—both foreign and domestic.

When Havana becomes a battleground during a presidential visit, Secret Service Agent Jake Mercer is the last line of defense in a city seized by revolution. Every shadow could hide an assassin, every ally could be a traitor, and with the eyes of the world watching, failure is not an option. Will Mercer's skills be enough to bring the President home?
