A New York Times Notable Book One of the Best Books of the Year The Washington Post • The Cleveland Plain-Dealer • Rocky Mountain News In this brilliant, lively, and eye-opening investigation, Tom Vanderbilt examines the perceptual limits and cognitive underpinnings that make us worse drivers than we think we are. He demonstrates why plans to protect pedestrians from cars often lead to more accidents. He uncovers who is more likely to honk at whom, and why. He explains why traffic jams form, outlines the unintended consequences of our quest for safety, and even identifies the most common mistake drivers make in parking lots. Traffic is about more than driving: it's about human nature. It will change the way we see ourselves and the world around us, and it may even make us better drivers.

Tom and Terry Wolfe assemble a team of elite agents in a unique approach not used before by traditional law enforcement. Their objective: to bring down Vernon Crassman, an evil, secretive billionaire, protected by layers of minions, and until now untouched by traditional law enforcement. To get close to Crassman, they must take on roles and enter into the world of high stakes politics, contract murders, and technology so advanced that it borderlines on science fiction. However, theyve underestimated Crassman and his lust for power. He will use his nearly unlimited resourcesdo anything and kill anyoneto secure his position as the leading defense industry contractor in the world. When Crassman realizes Wolfes team is a possible threat, he makes people disappear and die in very bizarre ways. The tables turn for Tom and Terry Wolfe as they find themselves in a life or death struggle against a small army of mercenaries and professional killers. Once again they prove themselves a force to be reckoned with, but in a game of such high stakes, not everyone can survive.
