The Unsung Hero by Suzanne Brockmann
The new Suzanne Brockmann novel from Headline and the first book in the Troubleshooters series. Troubleshooters: Danger can be addictive. After a near-fatal head injury, US Navy SEAL Lieutenant Tom Paoletti is forced to take a leave of absence from his Seal team, the Troubleshooters. Being out of the action is so far out of character that he thinks a visit home to New England may be the answer. So much the better if that means he can see Dr Kelly Ashton again. Then the unthinkable happens as Tom catches a terrifying glimpse of an international terrorist in his hometown. When he calls his superiors for help, the Navy dismisses the danger as injury-induced imaginings and worse, threatens to take him off-duty permanently. In a desperate, last-ditch effort to prevent disaster, Tom creates his own makeshift counterterrorist team, assembling his most loyal officers, two elderly war veterans, a couple of misfit teenagers and Kelly herself. As the clock ticks down will the town's infamous bad boy save the day and perhaps get a lasting chance for happiness or will the unthinkable happen and a terrorist strike right in the heart of America?
