The Ides of September by Rob Zwiebach

Terrorists derailed five trains across the United States, killing hundreds.

The FBI quickly apprehended the five perpetrators.

Case closed? Not necessarily…

Inspired by the swift FBI response to this tragic terrorist atrocity, driven small-town police officer Stephanie Walker sets her sights on joining the team of elite agents.

For now, she’ll have to settle for solving the murder of a townie hoodlum.

Her bosses expect a quick resolution but as Steph digs into the case, she learns her victim was not as small-time as they thought. When she uncovers a connection between her victim and the train derailment, her investigation leads her to Tim Sanderson, a witness to the original attack with secrets of his own to protect. Together, Steph and Tim come to realize the FBI made a terrifying mistake…

Because those five terrorists weren’t acting alone. They had a leader. Someone the FBI never captured.

He is still out there. Planning his next strike.

And Steph and Tim are the only ones who can stop him.
