WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE TRAITOR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND?

When one of America’s top spies is spotted crossing the border into North Korea, no one can believe it—especially his best friend.

Kill Dylan Kane.

It’s a race against time to eliminate his best friend before he reveals America’s secrets to one of its greatest enemies.

Or prove his innocence, and save his life.

This is one os the best yet from this series.
Jaw dropping disappointment to find that Kane has defected, but then adrenaline rush to find it was a secret, no, a very very secret mission.
Just downloaded the Mole and I'm already sad to recognise I only have 3 more of these stories to read before I must find another author.
Enjoy while we can !

A good plot wasted on a pulp fiction level of writing. The story is entertaining, has a different storyline and is very easy to read but vastly overdramatic, as if the author felt he had to constantly work to keep the reader engaged. A good time-waster.

Book 12

Book 12 was a fun read and had a few errors throughout. The plot and characters are developed well and have a few fun twists. Again, Tong is annoying as a character and interactions with her take away from the book.
