Nevěř nikomu. Nevěř ničemu. Knižní předloha nejsledovanější premiéry Netflixu roku 2023. Peter Sutherland pracuje u FBI a jako syn zkompromitovaného agenta, který prodal tajné informace Rusům, před sebou nemá zářné vyhlídky na kariérní postup. O to víc ho překvapí, když mu personální ředitelka Bílého domu nabídne místo v jednom z nejutajovanějších oddělení, kde má během nočních směn čekat na volání na nouzovou linku. Měsíce ubíhají a Petera služba u mlčícího telefonu unavuje. Jeho úvahy nad smysluplností jeho práce ukončí hlas vyděšené dívky, která mu oznámí, že jí právě zabili strýce a tetu a že číslo na nouzovou linku dostala od svých příbuzných, od kterých má vyřídit, že Orel měl pravdu. Peter se ocitá uprostřed vyšetřování složitého případu, který zahrnuje dlouholeté spiknutí ohrožující samotnou podstatu americké demokracie. Pokud chce ochránit bezbrannou dívku, musí odhalit dobře ukrytého zrádce, který spolupracuje s Rusy. Zrádce může být kdokoli a najít cestu v bludišti lží vyžaduje víc než odvahu.

But soon after he breaches the man's study, the home's inner sanctum, Nick finds himself entangled in a vicious crime that will shake Washington to its foundations--as all the evidence points to Nick. Nick knows he's the perfect scapegoat. But who is framing him, and why? To clear his name, he must find the truth--a search that leads to a dark conspiracy whose roots stretch back decades. The prize is the most powerful position in the world: the Oval Office. To save himself and the people he loves, Nick must stop the men who rule Washington before they bury him along with their secrets

Disgraced and on the run, he returns to the United States to get back to his wife and daughter and take revenge on his accusers with a series of devastating attacks. Only one man can stop him: Thomas Byrne. He once fought alongside Hayes as a combat medic, but he gave up the gun. Now a surgeon, he moves from town to town, trying to forget his past, until he is called upon by a high-ranking government official to help capture the man he once called a friend. Hayes and Byrne were once as close as brothers, but with the fate of the nation hanging in the balance and nothing as it seems, both men must decide whom to trust--and whom to betray. In a final, explosive battle for justice, they face off along a rifle's cold barrel. Cold Barrel Zero brings together the blistering pace of Lee Child, the nonstop action of Brad Thor, and the richly drawn characters and moral stakes of Daniel Silva. An experienced reporter armed with deep behind-the-scenes research into America's Special Operations Forces, Quirk takes the military thriller to a new level of suspense.
