What Must Be Stopped

Crime Thriller · Present Day

Three missions to stop evil.

FBI agent Heather McLaughlin has 48 hours to catch a domestic terrorist. A Pentagon strategist scrambles to stop nuclear war in the Middle East. A disillusioned millennial living on his sailboat gets pulled into a mission to prevent an environmental catastrophe.

Each races against the clock, and sometimes against each other, to stop the unthinkable.

Only one succeeds.

“Sometimes a novel comes along that feels ripped right from the headlines that I cover every day. This is one of those books. What Must Be Stopped is a gripping thriller that could easily—but hopefully not—be tomorrow’s front page news. The final twist will keep you wanting more.”

Carlo Versano, Politics & Culture Director, Host of The 1600

“It’s quick, fast, and I ❤️ it! The twists, including the cliffhanger ending, are deliciously sinister.”

Madi Halen, Author of Unpredictable Catch

Clues throughout the book give you everything you need to guess the ending.

Most readers can't.

Can you?

What Must Be Stopped is built for readers who love a novel that delivers on the promise of a thriller — breadcrumbs, plot twists, fast pacing. Beyond the fast-paced plot you expect, it also offers a deeper track on power, truth, and human nature — for readers who loved the depth beneath the pace of The Da Vinci Code, The Hunger Games, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Gone Girl.
