Five years after the murder of his wife and son, undercover DEA agent, Joe Falcone, known as The Phoenix, is still haunted by that fateful Christmas Eve. Now, emotionally emptied, Falcone takes solace in the simple living provided by the Pennsylvania countryside.

When a terrorist, intent on killing service members and their families, sets off a bomb in Center City, Pennsylvania, one serviceman offers the ultimate sacrifice to save scores of others.

As President Michael Lowell, a man who owes his life to Falcone, delivers the devastating news to the nation, Falcone catches a glimpse of the bomber—it’s a face he’s seen before…

…on the man who murdered his family.

With a nervous nation awaiting a military strike against Pakistani terror camps, the President has given only hours for Falcone to prove his theory: that the terrorist plot is a ruse—designed by the psychopathic Miami drug lord Imelda Berrios, aka ‘La Abuela.’

“The Phoenix” must discover the truth before all is lost.

“Driven by a deep national pride reflected in their work, authors Billy and Joseph Pepitone set the stage for a pulse-pounding terror ride fueled by resolute characters and an intensely fiery plot,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Phoenix: The Resurrection rises up and takes on an adrenaline-filled flight.”
