Embedded

By John Lansing

Jailed Army Ranger Dakota Judd is offered a life-altering deal from Jean Steele, an ambitious and attractive Black FBI agent. Infiltrate a White Supremacist prison gang while he's incarcerated, then embed himself into their militia on the outside. Become the eyes and ears of the FBI. If successful, his record will be expunged and he can live a normal life. If he fails, he'll wind up dead.

Embedded, the first book in the new Dakota Judd thriller series, features John Lansing's trademark propulsive, page-turning writing style, with a tough but sympathetic protagonist. Accompanying Dakota are two powerful women: Aunt Billie, his tough-as-nails wingman, a retired female detective who makes sure Dakota stays alive as he rotates back to civilian life where peril awaits, and Jean Steele, Dakota's FBI handler, who must thwart her romantic impulses towards Dakota, as one false move can cost her a career in the male-dominated FBI.

Kirkus described Embedded as "Brisk and relentlessly suspenseful... it effectively grabs readers' attention from the very first page and doesn't let go... a gripping and highly readable tale of redemption, deception, and the high cost of going undercover... A fast-paced crime drama with engaging characters."
