Terrorists prefer soft targets.

Commuter trains are ideal. Plenty of corpses for the headlines.

Adam Drake, a lawyer and former Special Forces Tier 1 operator, finds himself entangled in a sinister plot when his client's chemical weapon detection system for Seattle's light rail trains becomes a critical line of defense. Drake's suspicions are aroused when he spots an international banker, known for financing terrorist organizations, meeting with a young Saudi princeling on a yacht in Seattle.

Though their intentions remain unclear, Drake knows he can't ignore the potential threat. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a terrifying plan that could devastate the city and its unsuspecting commuters.

With time running out and countless lives at stake, Drake must use all his skills and resources to unravel the plot and stop the impending attack.

A fast-paced, action-packed thriller with a plot that could be tomorrow's headline.

Scott Matthews lives in Oregon, where he met his wife, attended the University of Oregon and earned degrees in Journalism and Law. He served in the Oregon National Guard, first as a CBR Specialist and later as a JAG officer. That's the bare bones of his Bio. The rest of the story is that he got hooked reading Ian Fleming's James Bond novels at an early age and has read just about everything in that genre since then. He outlined stories he intended to write for years before he finally sat down and wrote THE ASSASSIN'S LIST, the start of the Adam Drake Thriller series. He likes wine, especially wine from Oregon's wine country, fishing and hunting and following Formula One racing. And, of course, reading thrillers.
