BEIRUT, LEBANON, 2020: Home to International Gangsters, Foreign Spies, and Soldiers of Fortune.
O’Hara Poit, released early from prison under the pretext of a Covid-19 outbreak, now owes the men who orchestrated it-a radical organization with connections to fringe elements deep within the U.S. political establishment.
O’Hara is given an alias and sent to Beirut, where he is tasked with tracking down his estranged childhood friend, Red, now a soldier in a violent anarchist militia being trained by the Volk Group-an elite Russian mercenary force. When Red’s militia returns to America, they plan to unleash mayhem and bring down the country.
In his quest to stop this from happening, O’Hara must navigate his way among gangsters, spies and even Saudi princes. He meets a beautiful woman, makes dangerous enemies, and learns that nothing in his life is as it seems, and nobody is safe-least of all himself. The mission to find Red becomes a mission to survive.
“Move over Lee Child.” –Eileen M. Cotto, Amazon Reviewer
“A fast-paced, exhilarating thriller set in Beirut.” –Kirkus Reviews
