As Jake's life unravels, every move he makes pulls him deeper into a sordid quandary, until eventually he finds himself kicked out of his house, living in his car, and orchestrating a nuclear terrorist attack against his own country. In the end, Lethal Quota is a darkly funny novel full of intrigue and surprise about the tyranny of quotas in every career.

Little is known about Leo Keats, if that is his real name. He first surfaced in Bosnia as a US Army sapper in the mid-1990s, according to a clandestine source claiming secondhand access. He worked at Interpol in the mid-2000s, judging from direct and reliable signals intercepts. After that, the trail goes cold. Rumors suggest he lives a quiet life, working on a sequel.
