"Clever and compelling. Brooke Burrell is my kind of heroine, savvy, kick ass, and with a direct line to the president. You will stay up late and keep turning the pages to the very end."--Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author "The go-to guy for pure thriller reading pleasure, Tom Avitabile delivers with every word."--John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author "Tom Avitabile writes with verve and velocity in his terrific thriller. Give Us This Day presents FBI female vet Brooke Burrell, who's kind of a post-modern though equally jaded Clarice Starling. Little does she know that her cushy, quasi-retirement is about to be interrupted by a villain as fiendish as Hannibal Lecter, though on a global level. Give yourself only this day to read it, because that's all you're going to need."--Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author
