THE UPRISING HAS BEGUN

Hayley Chill has twenty-four hours to stop a violent revolt. The insurrection, taking the form of a storming of the Capitol Building, appears to be wholly spontaneous and disorganized. But is it? As the situation spirals out of control, authorities on the ground are utterly unprepared to protect the nation's elected representatives from the crowd's vengeance.

When Hayley Chill rescues a powerful senator and his staff from the mob’s clutches, she discovers shocking evidence that the uprising is led by one of the country’s longstanding adversaries. Non-stop action shifts from Capitol Hill to a pursuit across Washington DC as Hayley chases down foreign operatives to make them answer for their crimes.

Partly inspired by true events, this is a blistering novella featuring much-loved series character, Hayley Chill, and her fight against the powerful forces that threaten to overthrow democracy.
