Opening Lines:
"I'm pulling into the scene now. There are four dead, but Jackie wasn't hurt. I'll be back in touch, Dad, as soon as I know more." FBI Special Agent Paul Falcon parked behind a Chicago squad car within sight of the blue-and-white restaurant awning with Falcons scrolling across the fabric. He shoved the phone back in his pocket. It was just after eleven p.m. and the dark street was bathed in the flashing lights of squad cars. FBI Agent Sam Truebone met him as he cut between the medical examiner's van and the crime-scene van. |

Opening Lines:
I never talk about what happened. There are reasons, good reasons, but I keep those to myself too. I'm told the cops dealing with my case are wrapping up the last details, the task force dispersing back to their prior jobs. They seem relieved, the ones who have stopped by the hospital--relieved to see me alive, and they are tired. I have dominated their every waking moment, and the stress of the case has been enormous. They are glad I'm alive, and they are ready to move on. |

Opening Lines:
Far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, the USS Nevada glided silently through the waters. The storm 450 feet above the ballistic missile submarine barely disturbed their smooth, quiet ride. Commander Mark Bishop stood off to the side in the command-and-control center, alert to what was happening but letting his crew do their jobs. The executive officer, his second-in-command, was serving as officer of the deck while the various stations were manned by the third watch. After 79 days at sea, they were at the top of their game, running drills and practice exercises with precision, handling busy nights like this one with a professional focus. |
