Synopsis

From the author of The Potsdam Bluff and Tailspin comes a new techno-thriller set in the near future and featuring man-of-action Tom Sweeney. When the secret agent is laid off from his high-level intelligence job due to peace-time Department of Defense budget cuts, he takes the dismissal in stride, planning to enjoy a few months off as a swinging bachelor. But when an old CIA running mate is found murdered in the bathroom of Sweeneys house, leaving behind a cryptic message, Sweeney finds that he is a moving target for mysterious killers. Gradually, he discovers himself to be at the center of a complex international plot involving the cocaine industry, a swarm of vicious German neo-Nazis, and high-ranking US officials, including perhaps even Sweeneys old boss, the President himself. Can one hero take on all of these enemies? Watch him try.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Mike

Terrific spy thriller. Complex and interesting characters. A hero worthy of promotion. Sections of implausibility are overridden by snappy story line and banter among adversaries. Written 20 years ago, story is contemporary as today.......more
