Stepping Maze

History has its secrets, and someone wants them all.

Behind six feet of steel, buried under the streets of Manhattan, lies the Black Chamber-a room that once housed a team of codebreakers who would one day help to found the NSA.

"Imagine a writer that combines the best aspects of Cussler, Rollins, Berry, and Brown all into one. That's Kevin Tumlinson."
-Ernest Dempsey, Author of The Forbidden Temple
