The Detachment
Barry EislerWhen legendary black ops veteran Colonel
Scott “Hort” Horton tracks Rain down in Tokyo, Rain can’t resist the
offer: a multi-million dollar payday for the “natural causes” demise of
three ultra-high-profile targets who are dangerously close to launching a
coup in America.
But the opposition on this job is going to be
too much for even Rain to pull it off alone. He’ll need a detachment of
other deniable irregulars: his partner, the former Marine sniper, Dox.
Ben Treven, a covert operator with ambivalent motives and conflicted
loyalties. And Larison, a man with a hair trigger and a secret he’ll
kill to protect.
From the shadowy backstreets of Tokyo and Vienna,
to the deceptive glitz and glamour of Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and
finally to a Washington, D.C., in a permanent state of war, these four
lone wolf killers will have to survive presidential hit teams, secret
CIA prisons, and a national security state as obsessed with guarding its
own secrets as it is with invading the privacy of the populace.
But first, they’ll have to survive each other.
