[Wayward Pines Universe 01] • Wayward Pines · Before the Fall (Kindle Worlds)

“I do my ghost number around back, hop a three-foot fence, and the kitchen door is wide open. Imagine that. Don’t even need my tools for this one. Still, I slip on my gloves from the kit and test the perimeter for heat signals with my night-vision specs. Never can tell, right? And it feels comforting somehow to break out the old school—my snoop gear from a long-gone life. The batteries are still good, even after so many years.”

Joe Casey, a private detective turned disillusioned, wandering itinerant, kills his oldest friend in an act of mercy, little suspecting that the act will draw him into a web of violence and intrigue. No good deed goes unpunished and before long, Joe stumbles into a billionaire scientist’s plan to destroy and replace the human race.

Another installment in the mind-bending Wayward Pines series, action master Stephen Romano’s Before the Fall follows reborn, rebooted, and ready-for-action private detective Joe Casey as he pursues megalomaniac genius David Pilcher and his army of followers into the mountains of Wayward Pines. Joe must be getting rusty, though, because before too long he finds himself in the crosshairs of Pilcher’s most sinister agent, the beautiful and deadly Pam Prescott.
