In the first novel of the Double Cross series, we are introduced to Malik Davenport, a successful corporate attorney settled in Mobile, Alabama with his wife and two young children. In an instant his world is shattered when his children's lives are ended at the hands of two unknown white supremacists whose malice was witnessed solely by a neighbor's frightened child too traumatized to reveal what he saw. After relatively futile meetings with the local police, Malik reaches out to his close friend and fellow ex-marine he served with under a secret Vietnam sector known simply as "Faze Two". Using the stealth, and acumen from their past the two uncover secrets that threaten to undermine the very fabric of their town.
