BOOKS
For former CIA analyst Ophelia Harris, life has turned into a game of survival. The rules are simple – run, fight, or die.
Ophelia Harris has been trying hard to stay under the radar.
What seems like a lifetime ago and a world away, she disappeared from Afghanistan after a raid on an insurgent money laundering operation went terribly wrong. Every operator on the team was killed save one.
Ophelia escaped. And she got away with two suitcases filled with cash.
Gerhard Mueller runs Grendel Security Group and is Ophelia’s former employer. He knows a traitor set up the ambush that killed his team and he believes he knows who that traitor is.
He wants Harris found – and he wants her dead.
Austin Medford, a former Army Ranger, is sipping a beer at an airport lounge when he runs into a woman he believes he’s seen before during his deployment overseas. A woman running from trouble.
Soon Harris and Medford find themselves being brutally hunted by forces known and unknown trying to take them off the board.
With targets on their backs, just staying alive is proving to be a long shot.
Meet a professional debt collector who is tough as nails. Well . . . manicured nails.
Abigail Barnes is young, pretty, and petite, but her looks and size can be deceiving. A drifter who makes her living collecting outstanding debts for low-end bookies and loan sharks, Abigail arrives in New Jersey and gets a job collecting for a small-time bookie. After completing the job, the bookie is found murdered with all signs pointing to Abigail.
She soon finds herself being sought by a gang of hoodlums, the mob, and the police.
She knows she can’t run and she won’t turn herself in because she has a past that could send her to prison. She has little choice but to try and find out who killed the bookie – without getting killed in the process.
Once a professional soldier, an aging warrior learns that though the war is long over, the fight is not.
Frank Thompson, a recent widower and aging Vietnam veteran is down from Maine visiting his nephew and his nephew’s family in New Jersey.
While at a trap range, they have a chance encounter with a strange man who claims to remember Frank from the war.
Jasper, Birdie and Pogo were part of a psychopathic squad of killers put together by the CIA and trained by Special Forces to cause death and mayhem during the war.
That chance encounter has put these three men on a collision course with the man who trained them to kill.
Now, they have banded together driven by revenge, retribution and a nostalgic blood lust to hunt down and eliminate the professional soldier who led them all those years ago.
An empty house. A beautiful young woman. A deadly psychopath. What could possibly go wrong?
Esmeralda works for a housecleaning service during the day and as a restaurant hostess at night. Just out of high school, she is the sole support for her mother and two young siblings.
She has drive and ambition. What she doesn’t have is money.
She knows of a home in the upscale town of Mendham, NJ, that will be empty for more than a month. The rich people who live there go away the same time every year to spend time at their vacation home. Having cleaned the house, she also knows it contains a fair amount of cash and valuables.
Sitting with Ray, one of her co-workers one night, she casually mentions a “what if” scenario; Ray tells Skooley, a white trash drifter who recently moved to New Jersey from south Florida, and a plan is hatched.
It isn’t long before Esmeralda finds herself trapped by both circumstance and greed, forced to try and defend herself against one of her partners in crime, who she quickly discovers is far more dangerous than she ever thought possible.
