Gabriel Jets is the CIA’s top agent, a man with a reputation of getting the job done, no matter the price. On a rare visit back to the States, Jets is dispatched to collect a video depicting the kidnapping of four U.S. journalists working undercover in Damascus, Syria. Meanwhile, the U.S. president and his chief of staff, Robert McKaine, are called to the Situation Room to receive a briefing. Damascus is rocked by a terrorist plot that killed twenty-five innocent people.
A link between the two events is quickly discovered, with evidence pointing to the involvement of another U.S. journalist, Amelia Sinclair, a prominent foreign correspondent, with direct ties to the missing. While Jets hunts for the video, he crosses paths with Amelia. In a blink of an eye, his mission is compromised as he believes she is being set up to be the fall guy.
As the U.S. government closes in to arrest Sinclair, Jets alters his assignment to help clear her name and track down the powerful men behind the ploy to draw in the country into an international scandal. If Jets fails, the country he swore to protect, will go dark.
Jolene Grace knew only one thing with absolute certainty when she was a child — she’d become a writer when she grew up. At first, she wrote her stories in journals, scraps of papers, napkins, even her schoolbooks. Writing gave her an outlet to create worlds in which bad guys got punished for doing bad things. And the good guys always won.
Although I did enjoy this read I did find it too long. The story is well thought out and interesting, it will hold the readers attention without a doubt-so on that note I would definitely recommend the book. The four stars I have given it are deserved. Yet there were some discrepancies that I do not feel should be present from an author with a Bachelors Degree in journalism. One that stood out for me was the word 'furry' in place of the word 'fury'. Perhaps I could have let this go if it only happened once, it did not. I am a stickler for grammar and I also believe this could have benefited from another comprehensive edit. For me it just did not hold my interest as I think it could have. But, I do intend to read and look forward to the next installment of this series.
