About the book
Jailed Army Ranger Dakota Judd is given a life-changing proposal by ambitious Black FBI agent Jean Steele. The offer is for Dakota to go undercover in a White Supremacist prison gang during his time behind bars, and then continue to infiltrate their militia once he is released. By doing so, he would act as a spy for the FBI. Success would result in his criminal record being wiped clean and a chance for a normal life, while failure would likely lead to his demise.
Embedded, the debut installment in the new Dakota Judd thriller series, showcases John Lansing's signature fast-paced writing style with a protagonist who is both tough and relatable. Alongside Dakota are two formidable women: Aunt Billie, a no-nonsense former detective who serves as Dakota's protector in the dangerous world of civilian life, and Jean Steele, Dakota's FBI handler who must navigate her feelings for him while staying focused on the mission, knowing that even the slightest misstep could jeopardize her career in a predominantly male environment.
