When a decades-old secret surfaces and drags an ordinary man into the crosshairs of powerful forces, he must untangle a web of lies and betrayal before the truth is buried forever. The Authorization launches John Washington III's explosive new thriller series - a high-stakes conspiracy story packed with relentless pacing, razor-sharp twists, and a fight for survival that reaches the highest levels of power. This gripping series opener will keep readers turning pages late into the night - and hungry for Book 2.
