FAULT LINE by Barry Eisler - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Barry Eisler.In Silicon Valley, the eccentric inventor of a new encryption application is murdered in an apparent drug deal.
In Istanbul, a cynical undercover operator receives a frantic call from
his estranged brother, a patent lawyer who believes he is the next
victim.
And on the sun-drenched slopes of Sand Hill Road, Silicon
Valley's nerve center of money and technology, old family hurts sting
anew as two brothers who share nothing but blood and bitterness wage a
desperate battle against a faceless enemy.
Alex Treven has sacrificed everything to achieve his sole
ambition: making partner in his high-tech law firm. But then the
inventor of a technology Alex is banking on is murdered... and the
patent examiner who reviewed it dies... and Alex himself narrowly
escapes an attack in his own home. Off balance, out of ideas, and
running out of time, he knows the one person who can help him is the
last person he'd ever ask: his brother.
Ben Treven is a Military Liaison Element, an elite undercover
soldier paid to "find, fix, and finish" high-value targets in America's
Global War on Terror. Disenchanted with what he sees as America's
culture of denial and decadence, Ben lives his detached life in the
shadows because the black ops world is all he really knows—and because
other than Alex, who he hasn't spoken to since their mother died, his
family is long gone.
But blood is thicker than water, and when he receives Alex's
frantic call, Ben hurries to San Francisco to help him. Only then does
Alex reveal that there's another player who knows of the technology:
Sarah Hosseini, a young Iranian-American lawyer who Alex has long
secretly desired... and who Ben immediately distrusts. As these three
radically different people struggle to identify the forces attempting
to silence them, Ben and Alex are forced to examine the events that
drove them apart—even as Sarah's presence, and her own secret wants,
deepens the fault line between them.
A full-throttle thriller that is both emotionally and politically charged, Fault Line
centers on a conspiracy that has spun out of the shadows and into the
streets of America, a conspiracy that can be stopped only by three
people—three people with different worldviews, different grievances,
different motives. To survive the forces arrayed against them, they'll
first have to survive each other.
