When Washington, DC, homicide detective Marko Zorn's partner is murdered, his search for justice leads him deep into Black Sun, a violent neo-Nazi movement built from the ruins of WWII's most sinister forces. Their goal: unleash a catastrophic attack that will plunge the nation into chaos.

To stop them, Marko must outwit a woman known as the Bride of the Apocalypse, navigate the treacherous ambitions of two of the world's richest--and most ruthless--men, and confront a conspiracy stretching from Washington's corridors of power to the shadows of the city's underworld.

Can Marko save the country from annihilation?

A pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of Baldacci, Clancy, and Patterson, Black Sun Rising delivers relentless suspense, razor-sharp political intrigue, and a chillingly timely story of unchecked hatred--and the one man willing to risk everything to stop it.

Black Sun Rising is the fourth book in Otho Eskin's Marko Zorn series, which includes The Reflecting Pool, Head Shot, and Firetrap. Each novel can be read as a stand-alone or as a part of the series.
