THIRTEEN ACROSS: An FBI agent must decipher clues that link to seven stops across the nation's capital and arrive at a final destination before midnight where she must atone for her past sins. "sizzles with revelations, double crossings, and seemingly shifting alliances ... A taut, exciting mystery" - Kirkus Review Kate Morgan's life is derailed when Phillip Barnes makes his attacks on the nation's capital personal. Five letters and Thirteen Across are ominous signs. When you murder a killer's family there are consequences to those actions. Barnes reveals an unfolding puzzle-a charted course-one that expires at midnight. Solutions and destinations expose seven stops, seven sets of clues, and conspiracies. Kate must log the tours and save those that she can. To assist with the case, the FBI brings in real-life puzzlemaster, Will Shortz, to riddle out stops, while Kate works the frontlines to save seven victims. Each stop is meant to cause pain and torment, yet reveal secrets. And what Kate thinks she knows about her past is tested as is her ability to survive her trials. Dan Grant delivers another edge-of-your-seat story that keeps you guessing. Crosswords? Puzzles? Secret research? It's more than that. Thirteen Across is a thriller on a clock that keeps you guessing and a story that draws on unique Washington, DC, landmarks and locations. How will FBI Special Agent Kate Morgan survive her trials? Read to find out.

Autorenporträt
Dan loves stories, especially intriguing tales that weave science, medicine, technology, or history into the fabric of the story. THIRTEEN ACROSS does that and adds locations to the mix as well. His first novel, THE SINGULARITY WITNESS was well received; it's a pre-story to Kate Morgan who is in Thirteen Across. He's a licensed professional engineer with degrees from Northern Arizona University: a bachelor's in electrical engineering and mas¬ters' in college education and English with an emphasis in creative writing. His engineering endeavors have provided opportunities to work with a variety of medical and technological applications, and get behind the scenes of military facilities. Besides engineering, he has taught college English and computer programming, worked as a technical writer, and presented writing workshops. Dan is working on his next thriller-Thomas Parker and Kate Morgan will be back in The Singularity Transfer. Kate will return in a sequel to Thirteen Across, which has yet to be titled... and we shall see what puzzles and quandaries lay in wait for her.
