What's next for Sean Havens?

So you haven't read SAFE HAVENS: Primed Charge, yet? Hurry up because I'm not slowing down. Here's what's coming next.

To beat an assassin become an assassin.

SAFE HAVENS: Presidential Retreat

To save the President of the United States, black ops intelligence specialist, Sean Havens, hunts down a suspect assassin by entering the killer’s mindset and soon finds himself in the cross-hairs.

-------

Neither political party is pleased with their presidential nominees. The most viable candidate could be the current Vice President of the United States as a last minute sleeper entry. A political assassination would put the VP in prime electoral position--if intelligence specialist Sean Havens doesn’t thwart the power players’ agenda. Sent undercover to Martha’s Vineyard, an historic presidential summer retreat, Havens is tasked to conduct a risk assessment parallel to the Secret Service on the vacation hide-away in the advance of POTUS’s arrival. On the island, a credible threat is exposed forcing Havens into action with only his mind and spy tradecraft. Unarmed and unaware of the ultimate conspiracy, Sean Havens is forced to trust old enemies and to target a technical special operator and friend, “X”, in a twisted race between the CIA, the Pond, and the 2016 presidential elections.
