Quantum Assault: A Keeno Crime Thriller

The federal law enforcement agency of Canada is called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or RCMP, one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the world, and one which is famous for several notable things:
Their motto, "We always get our man".
Their famously red riding jackets, black yellow-striped pants and blackjack boots and western style hats, mounted on big horses, which they still use to this day.
And lastly, if you are stupid enough as a terrorist, domestic or otherwise, to cross their paths, they probably won't hesitate to put a bullet in you - essentially, a no-tolerance policy when it comes to such threat levels.
The Keeno Crime Thriller Novels follow in this tradition, minus the riding outfits and horses of course, and are based on a special unit of the RCMP called the ATU or Anti-Terrorism-Unit, headed by Keeno McCole. This small team is called into play as point-man when it comes to taking on domestic terrorism or large-scale criminal rings.
Keeno McCole is a maverick crime-fighter, rarely listening to authority, but certainly no less passionate about getting his man as the saying goes. 
He's deadly with a throwing knife, which never leaves his side.
He wears blue jeans and cowboy boots to work.
He drinks copious amounts of coffee along with bear claws.
He loves one woman, and none other.
When it comes to crime fighting, he is fearless to a fault, testimony to that fact are the large number of scars covering his body.
Along with his crime-fighting partner, Jake Williams, and two brilliant forensic and think-tank team members, Janene and Kelly, the ATU is relentless in searching down and removing the criminals on their radar - where ever that takes them in the world.

In Quantum Assault, book two of this series, a boyhood friend, Injun' Joe, contacts Keeno after having found a teenage girl being chased by an armed man in the woods near his cabin. Given the chance to meet his old friend and mentor, the very man who taught him many survival skills as a young boy, Keeno and Jake go to Joe's remote cabin in Ontario, where they meet the girl and soon discover that a human trafficking ring is being run in the area, where young girls, kidnapped from their homes in eastern Europe, and pipelined into Canada, are being sold on the sex market. The plot becomes even more insidious when she reveals that all the girls, like her, have been repeatedly injected with some kind of pathogen. This high-voltage thriller will take you down a very dark road, but a very contemporary one, into the sordid world of human traffickers, as Keeno and his team take on, not only a global trafficking ring, but an operation designed to change the very physiology of women being trafficked, one that suddenly goes out of control and threatens to become a lethal pandemic of its own.
