NATIONAL BESTSELLER

â€œA novel that makes your heart race . . . a thriller that weaves diplomacy and national security together with espionage, terrorism and Washington infighting.â€â€”Washington Post

An extraordinary thriller debut of twenty-first-century espionage, by a former deputy assistant secretary of state who â€œknows where all the bodies are buriedâ€”literallyâ€ (W. E. B. Griffin).
Â
The Golden Hour: In international politics, the hundred hours following a coup, when there is still a chance that diplomacy, a secret back channel, military actionâ€”somethingâ€”might reverse the chain of events.

As the top American diplomat for West Africa, Todd Moss saw a great deal about how diplomacy and politics actually work. But as he shows us, the results arenâ€™t always pretty.

When Judd Ryker is appointed director of the new State Department Crisis Reaction Unit, he figures he has a mandate to help the United States respond more quickly to foreign crises, but he hasnâ€™t reckoned with the intense State, Defense, Pentagon, White House, and CIA infighting and turf battles he would face. Then comes the coup in Mali. It is his chance to prove that his theory of the Golden Hour actually worksâ€”but in the real world, those hours move very, very quickly indeed, and include things heâ€™d never even imagined.

As Ryker races from Washington across Europe to the Sahara Desert, he finds that personalities, loyalties, everything he thought he knew, begin to shift and change beneath his feetâ€”and that friends and enemies come in many forms.
