Author Description

Roy Tucker’s wife, Thelma, was brutally killed. It was no accident. No matter what anyone says. Ex-President Neal Whittaker is assassinated and Roy Tucker is speculated to have been linked with his assassination, along with the murder of his former cellmate. In Rio, Tucker tries to keep a low profile, expecting a bullet in his forehead at any moment. General Thomas Reser, military adviser to two presidents, and Henemyer are on the trail of Tucker, keen to tie up loose ends – and Tucker is a very loose end. Hiding out in Barbados, Tucker tries to get in touch with Bob Applegate, an ex-vet who had taken Tucker under his wing when they were fighting in Vietnam together. But can Bob allow Tucker anywhere near himself or his family? Henemyer and Reser have Tucker on their radar, and are desperate to silence him before he can leak the truth and avenge his wife's murder.
