James Chadwick did not check in with Cruxys when he should
have, so a Code Red is issued. Cruxys Solutions in London
assigns Ruth Gonzalez to the case to visit James' wife in
her Chelsea home. Ruth then flies to the United States to
team up with Andy Vaslik to investigate the disappearance
of Chadwick, since he works for a company here in New York.
Ruth and Andy try to piece together the last few days of
Chadwick's life, visiting his apartment as well as the
company he works for. But the puzzle pieces just done seems
to fit together.
Meanwhile, James Chadwick wakes up in a small room shackled
to a bed, with someone watching over him. Neither man knows
exactly why they are here, except one is being paid to
watch the other and make sure he stays alive. A man who
calls himself Paul has plans for Chadwick. Those plans
include maneuvering some stolen drones in a jihadist strike
against the President and a United States Air Force base.
Can Ruth and Andy find Chadwick before he is forced to
execute Paul's plan?
Ruth Gonzalez and Andy Vaslik are an odd set of
personalities to put together, but the combination somehow
works. THE BID is the second book in Adrian Magson's new
Cruxys
Solutions series. Both Gonzalez and Vaslik are
strong characters with solid and methodical investigative
skills. Magson's supporting characters are a mixed lot.
James Chadwick is an refined intellectual, but finds the
fortitude he needs to challenge his captors and keep them
irritated. There are a variety of other characters, good
and bad, that move the plot along to a dynamic conclusion.
The story is action-packed, filled with suspense at every
turn, moving from London to New York, New Jersey and on to
the Midwest. The terrorists are very systematic in their
endeavor, but they've met their match in Gonzalez and
Vaslik. This is a story of vengeance, military intelligence
and entrepreneurship. We can always expect an exciting
thriller from Adrian Magson, and THE BID is no exception.
The prisoner who wakes up in a box miles from anywhere.
The jailer who doesn’t question his job.
The shipment of drones stolen in transit from a cargo hub.
The kidnappers planning a devastating attack on US soil.
When James Chadwick, a drone expert, disappears suddenly,
Cruxys Solutions investigators Ruth Gonzales and Andy Vaslik
are assigned to track his last movements. With few clues to
go on, the hunt moves from London to New York, gathering
speed as they close in on a horrifying plan to kill the US
President and inflict total damage on a US Air Force base.
And time is running out.
