A Dangerous Breed (to be released July 14th) -  An invitation addressed to his long-dead mother sparks Van Shaw’s curiosity about the woman he barely knew. As he digs into young Moira Shaw’s past, he uncovers startling details about her life, including her relationship to a boy named Sean Burke—a boy Moira may have been seeing when she became pregnant. Could this Burke be the biological father who abandoned Van before he was born? Although Van knows all too well that some doors shouldn’t be opened, he decides to investigate the man—only to discover that Burke has an even darker family history than Van’s own.

More immediate problems evolve as Van tries to help his friend Hollis out of a jam. Van finds himself steered into the path of a master extortionist named Bilal Nath who is demanding that the talented thief masterminds a daring heist of a Seattle biotech firm, or Nath will destroy the lives of people Van loves. Will Van be forced to steal a viral weapon with the potential to kill thousands?

With Nath coercing him into a possible act of domestic terrorism, Van turns to his formidable crew of lawbreaking friends for help. Yet even this team may not be enough. To outwit a brilliant sociopath, Van might just need a cold-blooded killer . . . a criminal whose blood may run through his own veins.
