Books like Edge of danger by Jack Higgins
After a string of violent assaults on the American presidency, a powerful Arab‑British lineage—whose roots blend British and desert warfare traditions—blames the U.S. leadership for undermining their honor and power. From the shadows of Washington, agents Blake Johnson and Sean Dillon lead a clandestine operation, codenamed The Basement, to track the hidden forces behind the attacks. Their investigation uncovers layers of intrigue, a possible vendetta against the nation's chief, and a network that may threaten national security. As the agents dig deeper, the conspirators accelerate their deadly agenda, forcing Johnson and Dillon to act before the next strike can be launched.
