Professional courier Simon Leonidovich is contacted by the
state department to deliver packages to Korea. Why on earth
would the government need his help? After accepting the
job, Simon discovers that he's mixed up in a plot including
discriminating documents and a plan to overthrow the
President. Also to his horror, a very dark and dangerous
man from his past is connected to this whole bizarre
assignment and he feels his life is in danger.
Being the professional that he is, Simon continues with the
job even after he escapes assassination and his face is
shown on live television. Now his undercover operation is
in the open and everyone is looking for the American. With
no one to trust, Simon skeptically accepts assistance from
Mr. Lee, who has a plan to help him get out of Korea alive -
-
with a catch, of course. Lee enlists Simon's help to aid
in the escape of his granddaughter, Soo-Lun, to South Korea
to finally be with her parents. Now the real journey
begins. Simon and Soo-Lun cross the border, but the
reception is not welcoming. Will Soo-Lun be reunited with
her family? And will Simon make it back to the states alive
and discover who's really behind this whole operation?
LIVE WIRE is a fast-paced, heart-pounding story of mystery,
adventure and espionage. MacLarty's previous titles, BAGMAN
and THE COURIER contain the same page-turning excitement.
This is another great addition to my library.
FOR THE RIGHT PRICE, SIMON LEONIDOVICH WILL DELIVER
ANYTHING, ANYWHERE.
THIS TIME, THE COST MAY BE TOO HIGH.
Faced with the dire news that North Korea intends to sell
its nuclear weapons indiscriminately on the black market,
the American President must resort to the unthinkable: he
secretly offers to support a North Korean faction intent on
overthrowing the government of Kim Jong-il. To facilitate
this deadly covert operation, professional courier Simon
Leonidovich is recruited to deliver vital CIA documents to
the North Korean dissidents. But when Simon finds himself
trapped behind enemy lines with a briefcase full of
incriminating evidence, he discovers the true nature of the
threat: an elaborate conspiracy by someone within the
administration -- to take down the American President...
