Lesser Man 3
Paul was summoned by Colonel Edwin Carlisle to the high rise in Boston where Carlisle Security conducted its business. The colonel had made no secret of the fact that he blamed Paul for putting their daughter in danger not once, but twice. Paul couldn't think of any reason the colonel would summon him unless his bio daughter, Rachel, was in danger again. Sadly, he was right. He found the colonel slumping over his desk. His last words to Paul in the ambulance were, "It figures."
The colonel thought Paul was a 'storm crow' and trouble followed him. He wasn't wrong. It turned out the colonel was murdered and his safe stolen. When Paul discovered that the colonel left the business to his adopted daughter, Paul knew what the colonel had wanted him to use his friends and particularly Arthur Dean Kaminski, once the colonel's lethal tool, to keep Rachel safe from an unknown threat. The mystery deepened when Paul and Rachel came into possession of a notebook with the names and addresses of Vietnamese refugees settled in America. The usually closed mouthed Arthur Dean is forced by circumstances to reveal that the colonel had an ‘in country’ family he moved to the USA at the end of the war, but not with the other refugees. Why? And why were various interested parties trying to find her after all this time? What could be so important that the surviving members of Arthur Dean's old squad, the CIA and other freelance entities wanted to know her whereabouts? And more importantly, why did they think Rachel knew the answers?
