The Operative Christopher Lane

Finally settling into a peaceful life after more than a decade on the front lines of the war on terror, Ryan Kealey believes he's put danger behind him - and some of his demons to rest. But his calm is shattered when he's swept into a merciless terror attack during a Baltimore charity gala. Dozens are dead, or injured, including the wife of CIA Deputy Director John Harper, whose investigation is hampered by suspicious foot-dragging from the CIA and other agencies. Harper turns to Kealey, the one man with the resources, expertise, and freedom from government interference to pursue the awful truth. With page after page of unrelenting action and explosive revelations, The Operative blends political deception and global intrigue with covert psychological manipulations in a gripping novel that will shock and thrill old and new fans alike.
