About Enemy of the State, from the publisher:
From USA Today bestselling author Robert Swartwood comes Enemy of the State, the propulsive, thrilling, and much anticipated follow-up to The Killing Room ...

But before Burke can even get on the plane, his old team has tracked him down.

The CIA believes Daniel Burke is a traitor--an enemy of the state--who must answer for his crimes. But others in government simply want him dead.

Knowing he's been set up, Burke is the only one who can track down and expose the real traitor--before it's too late.
