First Son

Jake Harrigan Thriller #4

by Bryan Murray

When Arab terrorists kidnap the only sons of the US President and Vice-President during a University ski trip to Italy, they threaten to behead them within seven days unless the Americans release their leader who is currently being held in the Guantanamo Detention Camp in Cuba.
The two political leaders then face a major problem in view of the accepted US policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists, but knowing that their sons will surely die unless they meet the terrorist's demands. Consequently, the President calls in his top, undercover security specialists, Jake Harrigan, an ex-CIA 'black-ops' assassin and his partner, ex-FBI Agent Sarah Schaumberg.
With the clock already ticking, their mission is to rescue the boys before the execution deadline as they quickly head over to Italy to try and pick up the cold trail, not realizing that the kidnapping was just the violent beginning of a confusing, world-shattering conspiracy.

Murray's books are shorter than most and are enjoyable to a certain point. The intensity and plot is similar to Stuart Woods but without the smut.
