Publisher's Synopsis
FBI recruit Alex Parrish is found amidst the ruins of Grand Central Terminal following a terrorist bombing. She is held by the FBI and questioned by Agent Jimenez. Flashbacks from nine months earlier show her training at Quantico with the other FBI recruits. One of them, Ryan Booth, is actually an undercover agent who is instructed by Special Agent O'Connor to surveil Alex. Alex had told O'Connor how she shot her abusive father, Jeff Michaels, while he fought her mother. He turns out to be an FBI agent. Back in the present, the FBI find Ryan unconscious, in Alex' apartment, shot with her gun, and evidence that points to her involvement in the attack. Alex is arrested. Miranda Shaw, her mentor from Quantico, helps her to escape.
