About the Book
Deep cover specialist Marc Portman is in Lebanon for a straightforward collect-and-go job - at least it should have been. Ambushed by a surprise attack, it's clear that someone must have had advance warning of his arrival. If he is to survive, he must use his unique skill set to turn the tables on his pursuers ... and beat them at their own game.Book Synopsis
A routine assignment for deep cover specialist Marc Portman becomes something darker and deeper in this action-packed spy thriller. Deep cover specialist Marc Portman is in Lebanon on a last-minute assignment. A straightforward collect-and-go job. At least it should have been. Ambushed by a surprise attack, it's clear that someone must have had advance warning of Portman's arrival. But who is his unseen enemy - clearly one with considerable resources - and why do they want him dead? More importantly, how could his attacker have known of his movements with less than 24 hours' notice? Concluding there must be an active leak at the heart of the CIA, Portman finds himself virtually alone and on the run, hung out to dry by the powers-that-be. If he is to survive, he must use his unique skill set to turn the tables on his pursuers . . . and beat them at their own game.From the Back Cover
