I'm not familiar with this book (which of course is why I LOVE book blogs!) -- I'll have to investigate further.
My teaser is from The Deadfall Project by Brett James (who's directed five or six films, by the way). Iranian terrorists plant a bomb in Paris, nearly killing millions -- a retired CIA agent starts searching for a bomb that could level a city in seconds. Very fast-paced and edge-of-your-seat action!
''It was too late for these thoughts, too late for anything but regret—and no time for that, either. The device was placed to achieve maximum destruction, not to avoid discovery.''

Wow, this is a good hook. After this, I definitely feel like reading more.
A great teaser. It always amazes me how one sentence can make you want to read a book - or not.
Ooh, great teaser!

I have seen this book around lately. Looking forward to your review!
Heck, I liked the title of the book even before I read your teaser which was short and very sweet.
