This gripping tale by a real-life private investigator melds the corporate and criminal worlds into one. When the push to beat the competition exceeds all reason--and with billions at stake--a pharmaceutical executive resorts to whatever it takes. What do a hit man, a drug king-pin, a company vice-president, a tainted clinical drug trial, three strong women and a kidnapping have in common? Power, greed, revenge and murder . . . of course! Ex-SEAL and disgraced DEA agent Ted Archer is a mercenary who stops but nothing to achieve his goals. All pretense of decency aside, Archer wades through this story like wrecking bar killing, maiming, and destroying. Reprising their roles in "Loose Ends"--Dave's first novel--private investigators "Mack" Mackey and Bob Higgins find themselves sandwiched between two sets of murderous criminals. Taking Archer and the others on, they are motivated by their sense of justice; yet restrained by their respect for the law. But their criminal counterparts have nothing holding them back as they arm-up for the action-packed show down. Replete with electronic eavesdropping, debugging, drones and computer intrusion, this book has all a reader of thrillers could ask. Author Dave Watts, a real-life private investigator, weaves another tale brimming with authentic investigative techniques familiar only to someone who has decades of being there. Don't start this one too late at night. You'll find it hard to put down.
