Penumbra Database: Corey Pearson- CIA spymaster
Take a bumpy ride of espionage and intrigue through Key West, the Florida Keys and the Caribbean! Nassau and the Bahamian out island of Abaco hold painful memories for Corey Pearson, CIA station chief for the Caribbean Basin and Florida Keys. Nassau was where he met his wife, Danielle. And it was during a mission on the Bahamian out island of Abaco when Danielle was brutally murdered.
Pearson finds himself back in the Bahamas to investigate the abduction and murder of a fellow agent. Surrounded by Nassau’s familiar sights and sounds, Pearson struggles not to let memories of Danielle overshadow his mission—a struggle that becomes ever more difficult as he uncovers evidence connecting his wife’s horrific death to a deep data mining project known as the Penumbra Database.
As Pearson discovers, everyone wants the database—from an Islamic narcoterrorism group planning a major attack on US soil to players in an ongoing contest between the FBI and the CIA for control of domestic surveillance.
As for the jihadists, their plan is rapidly approaching fruition. They have all the weaponry and religious zeal they need. Their target? An upcoming World Series game—one the US president plans to attend.
Danielle may have died for the Penumbra Database, and unless Pearson acts quickly, many more will follow her into the grave.

This was one of the most painful reads I have ever come across. From the mental whining about his dead wife ( the identity of her killer is telegraphed to the reader), to the incredible number of misspellings and incorrect words, to him suddenly being back in love with a former almost lover this was a terrible book. Just because you understand spycraft doesn't mean you are able to write novels about it.

I had to give this up on this book at about 20%, I just couldn’t finish it. The writing is over dramatic and the author tries to create drama directly with his words (for example “Would it reawaken the dreadful memories that were best left forgotten?”) rather than letting the plot and characters do it for him. The plot started nicely and was pretty interesting but I couldn’t deal with the writing to continue to see it any further.
