Jailed Army Ranger Dakota Judd is offered a life-altering deal by Jean Steele, an ambitious and attractive Black FBI agent. He must infiltrate a white supremacist prison gang while incarcerated, then embed himself in their militia once he is outside. If successful, his record will be expunged and he can live a normal life. If he fails, he'll wind up dead.
Embedded, the first book in the Dakota Judd thriller series, features John Lansing's trademark propulsive, page-turning writing and a tough but sympathetic protagonist. Accompanying Dakota are two powerful women: Aunt Billie, his tough-as-nails wingman—a retired detective who makes sure he survives as he returns to civilian life where peril awaits—and Jean Steele, Dakota's FBI handler, who must resist romantic impulses toward him, since one false move could cost her a career in the male-dominated FBI.
