Some lies are buried in silence. Others pull you under. Former intelligence officer Thomas Stone thought he'd left the shadows behind when he and his wife Lucia opened a quiet investigation agency in New England. But one phone call changes everything. A trusted client is nearly killed, a company burns to the ground, and a friend inside the intelligence world vanishes without a trace. What begins as a case of corporate theft quickly unravels into something far more dangerous, a collision of global finance, covert power, and family betrayal. Each lead drags the Stones deeper into a web of coded messages, missing agents, and old loyalties turned lethal. Haunted by what they've already lost and bound by the love that keeps them alive, Thomas and Lucia must decide who to trust before the next shot is fired. Taut, intimate, and deeply human, Phantom Grasp explores how far people will go to protect what they love when truth itself becomes the enemy. For readers of Daniel Silva, Greg Iles, and Robert Littell, this is a thriller that stays with you long after the final page.
