__________________________
In Afghanistan, a US Special Forces pilot is shot down during a covert mission.
In New York, a mother is forced to flee with her two young children.
A wealthy businessman approaches Jack Morgan, head of Private - the world's largest investigation agency - with a desperate plea to track down his daughter and grandchildren, who have disappeared without a trace.
What at first seems to be a simple missing persons case soon escalates into something much more deadly, when Jack discovers the daughter is being pursued by highly trained operatives.
As Jack uncovers more of the woman's backstory, the trail leads towards Afghanistan - where Jack's career as a US Marine ended in catastrophe . . .
Jack will need to face the trauma of his past to save a family's future.

'High action, tense and with such urgency inherent in the text that if I had any belief I was in for an early night, that was also gone.'
'The chapters are short and pacy, each one leaving readers with a kind of cliffhanger that makes it virtually impossible to ignore the 'one more chapter' call.'
'I love the action sequences, the pace, the energy and, more than anything, the characters.'
'Fast-paced, edge of the seat action, emotionally driven story laced with a very generous helping of corruption and espionage. The kind of brilliant storytelling that makes me power to the last page.'

*Thrilling*
In this instalment we are introduced to Beth, along with her two children being stopped by the police. She recognises there is something off about them and she floors the gas pedal.
We also see Floyd a special ops pilot being shot down in Afghanistan and most of the team are killed. What is the connection to Jack’s case?.
After the many near death experiences in book #15 Private Moscow, Jack Morgan the head of Private, decides to take a back seat to have a breather and recover.
In comes a business man to their offices who seemed generally concerned that his daughter and grandchildren are missing. Jack wanted to decline as it is not what they usually do. His team gave him the look and he decides to take the case. After all what better way to get back into the field than with a simple case???
Jack soon finds that this case is not straightforward, the more he and his team delve into the case they realise all is not what it seems.
From then on the book becomes explosive and nail biting. I could not wait to see what happened next. Jack seems to run towards danger and we see him fly to Afghanistan and I tell you he has many lives with all the gunfight and near misses.
A thrilling and addictive story that was hard to put down.
