As the nation grapples with a rising tide of public gun violence, Lockhart Public Security launches a veteran-led initiative to solve what the politicians can’t. And when the program exceeds everyone’s expectations, virtually ending the plague of random mass shootings overnight, CEO Sam Lockhart is lifted up as society’s savior.

But some things are too good to be true.

FBI agent Cyrus Jennings and his partner Misty Daniels have not forgotten Lockhart masterminded the murder of a popular politician. And when Daniels’ journalist sister vanishes while writing a profile piece on Lockhart’s employee mental health treatment center, the two investigators are plunged into a dangerous maze of secrets and lies buried beneath layers of shell companies and false identities.

With the clock ticking and a twisted rival pulling strings from behind bars, Cyrus finds himself trapped in a cat-and-mouse game against a foe who always stays one step ahead.

Lockhart wields immense power from the shadows, and his reach extends to the highest levels of government. To expose the truth, Cyrus must outwit a cunning adversary and take down a public hero who is a private monster.

With lives in the balance, he vows to bring Sam Lockhart to justice, or die trying. Can Cyrus stop him before it’s too late?

Step into the pulse-pounding pages of Guardian Protocol, where the line between security and freedom becomes blurred and nothing is as safe as it seems.
