Description
A Funeral in Paris. A Reckoning in Russia. An Endgame in Davos.
Former CIA analyst Kate Preacher has tracked the cabal that shattered her world across continents-but only now does she glimpse the true enemy behind the curtain. A new leader has stepped from the shadows to seize control of the Coalition-and a weapon that could reshape the balance of power forever.
"Sometimes," Jake warned her, "the only way to win is to sacrifice everything."
Kate's hunt races from the rain-soaked boulevards of Paris to Beslan, a Russian city haunted by unanswered questions-where memories she buried long ago surface with deadly force.In New York, a trusted ally is killed. Another vanishes.
High in the Swiss Alps, Kate undertakes her most dangerous mission yet- infiltrating the labyrinth beneath Davos-before world leaders walk blindly into a trap from which there may be no escape.
A bioweapon counts down to catastrophe. Her team is scattered and fighting to survive. And Kate is one move away from exposing the conspiracy that took everything from her-if she is willing to pay the ultimate price.
Defiant is the explosive finale to the Kate Preacher Origin Trilogy-a globe-spanning, high-stakes thriller for fans of Jack Carr, Gregg Hurwitz, and Mark Greaney.
This is where Kate's story comes full circle.
And where the final move changes everything.
