Is it possible to really know your spouse?
Nick Faulkner is about to find out . . . if he can stay alive. Nick-a former FBI star whose career mysteriously tanked, returns home one day to find that his wife Lexi has walked out on him and simply vanished. Then, he discovers she's part of a cult-like church. He doesn't believe for a second she's suddenly found religion but is convinced she's been kidnapped. Nick recruits a band of similarly disgraced ex-agents to help him spring her from the cult's heavily armed compound.
He doesn't know that powerful forces high in the US government and intelligence services are working to make sure that doesn't happen. And that they'll stop at nothing to prevent him from exposing the secrets lurking beyond the church gates.
Including murder.
As Nick works his way through the shadows of Lexi's life and tries to sort out the hidden truth behind her disappearance, he tumbles into a sprawling web of deceit and lies thick with betrayal and shifting loyalties, where nothing is as it seems.
His quest will bring him face-to-face with enemies foreign and domestic, including traitors, social media "truth tellers," Russian spies, and well-armed mercenaries. And he'll have to survive a vast conspiracy determined to keep him from learning the stunning truth about who Lexi really is.
Or, perhaps even more shocking, who she isn't.

"Intense, compelling, and relentless. Failure Point is a book that is just itching to be adapted for the big screen and will keep you turning the pages until the very last one." -Mike McGrale, screenwriter, The Following, CSI: Miami

Strap in for Failure Point's chilling ride of mounting suspense that leaves you gasping at the ride's end." -Parris Afton Bonds, New York Times bestselling author
"What do you get when you mix crackling prose, a propulsive plot, and unflinching insights into human relationships? Failure Point, that's what, the latest political thriller by Doug Williams. And those are only a few of the novel's delicious ingredients. One taste, and you're hooked." -Ona Russell, novelist, educator, and host of Literary Hub's "Authors in the Tent"
"Smart, edgy, compelling, and filled with a wealth of trap doors and misdirection, Failure Point makes for an exciting read you can't put down." -Wayne Slaten, award-winning screenwriter and director, F.64 Films
"It's an understatement to say how each chapter propelled me to the next with a truly undeniable momentum. Calling it a page-turner doesn't do it justice. So many hooks and twists! The characters were so deftly drawn that I only wanted more, and the writer's authority on this material, and the wider world, made me feel in the care of a master-one who'd rip me in two a few times before the last page. Failure Point well-earns its classification as a thriller." -David DeWitt, former editor and critic, the New York Times
"Impossible to put down-and what an ending!" -Johnny Carrabba, author of With Gratitude and A Gift from the Heart
