A political thriller built around a widening hunt

In *Scorched Earth*, the ousting of a U.S. president sets off a campaign against people his former allies regard as enemies. When the killings reach Jonathan Grave and his Security Solutions team, the conflict expands toward an attack on a gathering in rural North Carolina. The setup links private security work and targeted assassinations to political betrayal, fanaticism, and high-tech weapons, with the gathering serving as the focal point for a larger confrontation over American values. The book is part of Gilstrap’s Jonathan Grave thriller series and centers on the consequences of power struggles that continue after a president leaves office.

Book overview

Vengeance, murder, and violent political games are on a collision course in a propulsive Jonathan Grave thriller by New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap.

Disgraced U.S. President Darmond has been ousted from office, but his minions have taken aim at everyone they perceive to be enemies. Off-the-record contractors on a secret list are being eliminated, one by one.

Jonathan Grave and his Security Solutions team manage to turn the tables when the assassins come for them. But the ultimate attack will strike deep at the heart of what's best about American values.

High-tech weapons, terror-driven fanatics, and top-level betrayal shred the peace of a peaceful gathering in the rolling hills of rural North Carolina. In this showdown, the winner will take all.
