They told him they would save her. That the situation was under control. They lied. When fifteen-year-old Becky Anderson makes a new friend on social media, she has no idea that a single, innocent click of her finger will have deadly, global ramifications. Across the seas in a tropical paradise, Pat Walsh splits his time between surfing isolated reef breaks, tending to his yacht, and taking the occasional weekend off to hunt drug lords, terrorists and despots. He's not a hero. But when it comes to ending bad guys, he's one of the CIA's deadliest weapons. Walsh's escapist lifestyle comes to a grinding halt when he discovers a grainy video clip that leaves him reeling.

Ready to fly into action and deliver justice, he is instead told to sit back, shut up, and obey orders. It's too bad the orders are downright wrong, and his commanders are harboring some dangerous secrets. Pat Walsh has stared down armies and dethroned kings, but challenging Uncle Sam is another ballgame. In this standalone military thriller, the renegade operative might have finally met his match.
