A surprisingly FAST read.

Matt Marquette is a Seattle fisherman. An Ex-Seal, Ex-racecar driver, commercial fisherman. Than one night, Marquette's boat is torched, inside the are the bodies of his deckhand and his girlfriend. Callam County Detective Lieutenant John Two Elks figures that it is extremely likely that Marquette committed the murder while torching his own boat for insurance. But Matt knows something that Two Elks doesn't. Matt knows that he is innocent. Also, after the fire, Matt found something else on the boat. Something that already has two men following him. Unknown to both Matt and Two Elks is that the sphere Matt found is part of a plan that could destroy the entire city of Seattle, and continue killing throughout the southwest United States. As I read about the ex-racecar driver, with nightmares about his last crash, I figured "Well, there won't be any high speed chases in this story.". Boy was I wrong. The entire story turned into a "high speed chase" as I kept turning the pages. Cool book.
