Rich with the real-world trade craft of counterintelligence, 'Blow The House Down' creates a riveting, terrifying version of what happened on 9/11 – starring Max Waller, a CIA operative who doesn't play by the rules and ends up getting pulled into a series of events leading up to the attacks.
Max has always been obsessed with the abduction and murder of Bill Buckley, the CIA's Beirut Chief of Station in the 1980s. He suspects a vicious Iranian maths genius turned terrorist – but when he finds a photo of the Iranian, the other people in the photo include Osama Bin Ladin and a mysterious Westerner whose head falls outside the photo's image area. Why would this cutthroat Iranian terrorist be hanging out with Bin Laden in Afghanistan, and how is this Westerner involved? As Max begins to investigate, the first person he asks winds up dead, and suddenly Max finds himself suspected of murder.
All the elements of 'Blow The House Down' are based upon real people and events, some of which the government has left unexplained in public record. Baer uses his own CIA experience to connect all the dots, and creates a terrifyingly feasible story of international espionage and breathtaking suspense.
