About the book

In war-torn Iraq, SBS operative John Stratton's closest friend is killed, leaving behind a grieving wife and child - Stratton's godson. When the widow moves to Los Angeles she is murdered and her child is placed in state custody. Stratton, rocked to the core by the killing, uncovers an FBI plot to hide the crime and sets off on a private operation of revenge against one of the most powerful Eastern European crime syndicates in America. Hunted by the CIA, the FBI, and Albanian mobsters, using only his wits and his skill with explosives, Stratton pursues his private war - a fight he suspects could be his last.
