In this, the first book in the Billy Joe McAllister Series, Billy, a retired Middle East operative, has returned to his home in the mountains of West Virginia. The Irish mafia falsely accuses the sister of Billy's deceased wife, Rebecca, of stealing money. When the mafia violently attacks her in her home, Rebecca fights back and kills her attacker. Desperate, she turns to her mysterious estranged brother-in-law, Billy. His chilling competence plunges them into a world of stolen millions, Irish mobsters, and a rogue Iranian spy cell operating in Baltimore. To survive, they must unravel a conspiracy that threatens to destroy them both, forcing them to forge an alliance from the ashes of family tragedy and mutual distrust.
This story is for readers who love fast-paced, high-stakes action thrillers with a strong female protagonist and a mysterious, hyper-competent male counterpart. Readers who enjoy authors like Lee Child or Vince Flynn and appreciate a combination of gritty street-level crime and international espionage will find the relentless plot, the brutal problem-solving, and the central mystery of Billy's identity appealing. It will particularly resonate with those who appreciate stories where ordinary people are forced to do extraordinary-and violent-things to survive.
