When wealthy socialite Layni Bingham is found brutally murdered inside her luxurious estate, the evidence points squarely at her husband, Doug—and the woman with whom he's been having an affair. To the police, it's an open-and-shut case.

Attorney Xander Van Buren isn't convinced.

Hired to defend the accused mistress, Xander quickly discovers that the murder is only the first thread in a web of deception stretching far beyond a single homicide. With the help of his longtime friend, FBI Special Agent Stu Saxon, he begins pulling at that thread—and what unravels threatens not only their investigation, but the security of an entire nation.

As hidden financial transactions, powerful political figures, and secret alliances emerge from the shadows, a deadly virus begins to spread across the country. With panic mounting and the clock ticking, Xander and Stu find themselves racing to expose a conspiracy whose architects will stop at nothing to protect it.

The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

And in a world where power is the ultimate weapon, trusting the wrong person could be a death sentence.

Fast-paced, timely, and packed with shocking twists, UNMASKED is a gripping legal thriller that blends murder, political intrigue, and relentless suspense into a story that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

Perfect for fans of conspiracy thrillers and legal suspense by John Grisham, David Baldacci, Brad Meltzer, and James Rollins.
