Book Description
Ex-DEA agent Jesse Warden has seen enough of the inside of a solitary confinement cell to last him a lifetime. Or two lifetimes, which is the sentence he's serving after being convicted of a plan he was planning to commit, but never did. So when an old buddy shows up with a deal that could spring him from his hell behind bars, he's ready to listen. To gain his freedom, Jesse must infiltrate a dangerous and reclusive religious cult that has been stockpiling weapons and eliminating those sent to investigate. From the moment he arrives in the Idaho mountain town where the cult is centered, Jesse finds every aspect of life dictated by the group's eerie, imposing leader. Pitted against not only the cult, but also the feds who sent him, Jesse feels control of his own life slipping away, and must make a final,desperate attempt to regain it -- or die trying.

Can I give more stars? I've read all Woods' books and this is my favorite. I've rarely been disapointed with SW,(DIRT), but the none stop action, the clever diologue, the literally gripping suspense makes this an easy A+. I've read it 3 times and bought it as a gift at least 5. When I heard "HEAT" was going to be a movie I was elated, only to be brought back to earth when I found out it had nothing to do with Woods' story. Their mistake.
