The gruesome death of Col. Emmett Portman in Turkey brought
together two CID special agents who would rather not be
working together. Anna Masters and Vin Cooper's personal
relationship had ended and she's now engaged to someone
else. Awkward doesn't begin to cover it.
But the two have a job to do and soon; more people die,
bringing their focus sharply to the investigation.
Unfortunately, they're going in many directions, bumping
into CIA agents, local police and corrupt businessmen. And
the murders are odd -- apparently the work of a serial
killer, but with strange elements that indicate different
killers.
Although they're barely speaking to each other, Masters and
Cooper are fighting the good fight -- battling psychopathic
killers, poisoned groundwater that connects to an ongoing
U.S. lawsuit and even being buried alive together.
Sometimes closeness isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Air Force Special Agent Vin Cooper's smart-alecky
personality shines in this David Rollins novel. The
tension between him and Masters plays into the fast-paced
action dominating the pages, creating enough humor to keep
it fun, but blending perfectly with the tenseness of murder
and stress. The ending will leave you gasping. Another
winner from Rollins!
Move over, Jason Bourne! Step aside, Jack Ryan! Special
Agent Vin Cooper's star is rising as he travels to the most
dangerous corners of the world, investigating a conspiracy
that reaches up the military chain of command, leading to
an explosive ending that will leave listeners gasping.
When the U.S. attaché to Turkey is murdered, the first
thing Special Agent Vin Cooper notices is how the killing
was carried out with military efficiency. Cooper's
investigation pairs him with a former lover, Special Agent
Anna Masters, as they cross borders into the Middle East
and find that enemies are armed and extremely dangerous,
lurking around every corner. Their investigation uncovers a
shadowy web trying to topple governments by any means
necessary, and the conspirators will stop at nothing to
silence Vin Cooper...
