There’s nonstop adrenaline-pumping action when Matt McCall investigates an alleged boating accident that claims the life of a friend who once partnered with him in covert activities for the CIA. And it doesn’t take the reporter long to get his nostrils filled with the stench of murder.
The motive: the friend, a VP for VMI, a defense contractor, discovered that someone at VMI is stealing classified information and selling it to the enemy. The traitor could be anyone, including the company’s CEO or one of an entourage of overpaid and incompetent executives.
As McCall investigates, suspects and people who might provide leads start dropping like flies – and his efforts are stymied by the police, a politically ambitious DA and a congressman receiving payoffs from the defense contractor.
In this action-packed, edge-of-your-seat adventure you meet some of the most frightening characters ever portrayed in any type of literature – vicious men with such lack of conscience, so obsessed with greed and avarice, that they make serial killers seem tame in comparison.
But they have never encountered a man like McCall, whose rage turns lethal when they murder another of his friends and attempt to kill his fiancé. Resorting to the CIA training that earned him a reputation as the world’s most dangerous man, the hunters become the hunted in a nail-biter that is a mesmerizing, powerful tale of good vs. evil with a surprising ending.

C.C. Risenhoover, author of the highly acclaimed Matt McCall series, lives in Pecan Plantation near Granbury, Texas with his wife, Georgia, and two of their seven children. The community, which boasts more than 90,000 pecan trees, is nestled in a horseshoe bend of the Brazos River where the author often fishes for bass and any other species that will bite. And it is in this setting where he writes the continuing saga of Matt McCall and other novels. One of his most critically acclaimed novels, WHITE HEAT, is based on his experiences playing baseball for an otherwise all-black team in the 50s. Author of 18 published books, he is currently working on other novels with racial and sports themes and has more than 20 Matt McCall titles in the works.
