Plot/Counterplot - Hardcover

by William Bernhardt (Author)

He writes gunfights and ticking time bombs. But when he's kidnapped and forced to plan a real-world crime, every plot twist will be explosive...

Dylan Taggart channels his demons through the keyboard. Knocked around by a father who believed weakness was failure, the bestselling suspense author grabs a measure of peace in his gorgeous girlfriend's arms. But he sees fiction come horrifyingly to life when masked fanatics break in demanding he put his brilliant mind to work and help them steal a secret military super-weapon.

Dylan tries to refuse, but his resolve shatters when they leave his lover for dead and punish him mercilessly. Torn between terror and grief, he starts writing the heist scheme as ordered...while feverishly building a cunningly disguised sabotage.

Can this tortured artist use his own ingenious plotting skills to prevent the death of millions?

Plot/Counterplot is a fast-paced standalone thriller. If you like resourceful characters, intense drama, and endless surprises, then you'll adore William Bernhardt's clever caper.

"A man on the run... a woman on the run... in a thriller that hits the ground running... then running faster... then absolutely flying. And you're flying, too, flying through the pages with one of the masters of the modern thriller at the controls. William Bernhardt knows when to soar and when to dive, when to make you sweat and when to let you breathe, when to throw this flying machine into a barrel roll that will absolutely shock you and when to bring you home safe and satisfied. A terrific entertainment." -- William Martin, New York Times-Bestselling Author of The Lincoln Letter and December '41
