Book Description
Cris De Niro and The Watchman Agency return to rescue one of their own.
Scipio has been taken prisoner and is being held in the notorious
Iranian Evin prison. With the U.S. and Iran on the brink of war, only De
Niro himself can save him, but not without the help of an adversary.
Complicating matters, De Niro also learns of the existence of top-secret
plans, code-named “Project 111,” outlining the placement of a nuclear
bomb inside an Iranian missile. De Niro & company must find a way to
free Scipio, snatch the plans from the North Korean embassy in Tehran,
and escape with their lives. At home, an old Korean War hero vows to
avenge the death of his granddaughter at the hands of a ruthless gang
leader. ARCHANGEL is sent to the tough streets of Chicago to protect
him, but they soon find that a man’s courage and valor do not diminished
with age. Filled with the unique style that de Marigny’s fans have come
to expect from him,
Following on from Rise to the Call, Cris de Niro and his watchman agency are back, when one of his own men has disappeared, de Niro is worried and has to call in a lot of favours from prominent statesman to achieve his goal. De Niro also receives a call from an old Korean War hero to help protect his granddaughter from the hands of a gang leader .
Again the master story teller has the reader enthralled and involved in the novel . The author knowledge and research is evident thorough out and adds spice to the adventure .
The characters resolve show that through the trial and ordeal, friendship and survival are the most important things in every one lives. The contacts de Niro has to use show when you do someone a favour on it's return it comes back twofold.
In the book the different ideologies that the main protagonists have shine through, but as you make an enemy a friend it shows that respect and tact can win the day.
Another masterpiece from this author. The way the characters are growing is amazing but you also develop your own personnel attachment with each one .
There is more emotion felt in this book as you really find out what a true leader Cris De Niro is and what he feels about all the people who work for him are worth.
This author is now on my reading list along with Lee Child, Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin.

This book sounds right up my alley! Although I love Historical Romances-I also Love Thrillers, especially Political and Medical!! I like the fact that this musician turned author bothered to research. Definitely going on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great suspenseful read! It's always neat to see where the author has been and is coming from in his writing.
ReplyDeleteI am not really into political books, myself, but I think this is right up my husband's alley. He loves reading the Bourne books and anything by Tom Clancy, and from what he tells me, this seems like the same genre. Thanks for the suggestion!
