(Book)

"Follow the gun. Find the killer."--Cover.

"There are over 300 million guns in the United States. Imagine having to find just one. This is the problem rookie ATF Agent Miranda Lopez faces. There has been another mass shooting in America, and thirteen people are dead. But this time, it is different because one of the victims is the daughter of Marco Barros, a powerful pro-gun rights senator. The killer is still at large. Their identity and motive remain a mystery. Miranda's only lead is the murder weapon: an AR-15, a.k.a. the "black rifle." Forced to work with Cal, a mysterious private sector mercenary hired by Senator Barros, her search for the rifle will take her across the country: from the crumbling city blocks of South Central, California to the frigid streets of South Side, Chicago to a sun-baked Arizona militia compound to the polished halls of power of Washington, D.C. As she unravels a shocking grander conspiracy behind the shooting-- a dark secret that the powerful will do anything to keep hidden-- Miranda risks losing everything she loves..."--Inside front jacket flap.
