No Rules Protocol (Paperback)

Paperback. What if the only way to stop tomorrow's enemies is to abandon the rules that built a democracy?When Ivy-polished historian Roger de Sherburne, a man with one foot in academia and the other in the old Brooklyn streets is lured to a private Manhattan club and nearly garroted by twin assassins, he learns the attack isn't random. It's a warning from a shadow network bent on ending the Pax Americana. Saved at the last second by the Murphy brothers, reformed mob enforcers turned government "problem solvers", Roger is pulled into a deniable program known as The No Rules Protocol, where due process is optional and results are everything. With razor-sharp Lucille and her retired cat-burglar husband Jimmy Ippolito running point and a brilliant, no-nonsense NYPD detective watching the bodies pile up, Roger chases a specter who calls himself Hassan Sabbah from smoke-filled New York back rooms to sun-bright island hideouts and ancient hill towns in Italy. Every step forward blurs the line between justice and vengeance. Every victory costs a piece of the soul. Blending breakneck action, gallows humor, and a timely question, how do you fight monsters without becoming one? The No Rules Protocol is a smart, high-velocity thriller for fans of covert ops and conspiracy with moral bite. This item is printed on demand.
