Description

"A superbly written work of thriller fiction!" -Christopher Amato, author of Shadow Investigation

It's February 2023. An Alluring and determined CIA Case Officer, June Cohen, must flawlessly execute an unsanctioned plan of action or the U.S. will invade Iraq to search for weapons of mass destruction.

She coerces Robaire Assaly, a Los Angeles based DEA Confidential Informant, to take part in her elaborate scheme. Robaire agrees, however, in doing so, he must betray his long-time DEA Agent handler, Gary Lowery, to get what she needs. Robaire soon realizes June has tricked him into taking the blame for stealing a Stinger missile, which she pulled off right under the nose of the hapless FBI.

The duped FBI and Gary desperately want Robaire. He's now frantically on the run as an international fugitive with the FBI and Gary relentlessly pursuing him and the stolen Stinger before it is used against an unknown target. However, June finds Robaire first before he can reveal the CIA's involvement to the Feds.

Featured Reviews

This is an excellently written international thriller, as the title suggests. Mr. Lee is well versed in the behavior and actions needed to be taken when conducting undercover work, as his background with the DEA shows us. The plot is well thought out, twist filled fun. Some of the twists can be predicted but overall this was an amazing debut novel.

The protagonist is well crafted, easily likable and identifiable. You couldn’t help as you read to pull for him and hope for a resolution befitting someone who serves the greater good. The antagonist(s) lurk around every corner and the novel concludes with what I certainly hope will be the setup for a sequel and continuation of the story.
