With his help, the agency discovers and prosecute a Russian network of scientists in Britain who had infiltrated its wartime research departments.

    Grief is a bitch. 
    When Tony Mora’s partner Clyde dies saving his life during a botched DEA operation, the loss throws him in a tailspin. Not that things were going so well before that. Between the married (albeit unhappily) co-worker carrying his baby and his dead partner's widow putting the moves on him, Tony's romantic relationships are a complete disaster. 
    Truth is, mid-level boss Franklin Hayes didn’t intend to shoot Tony’s partner. Business meetings can be tense, but they don’t have to end in a bloodbath. Unless that was the plan. With Tony on his trail, Franklin discovers he's merely a pawn in the unraveling Siriano criminal organization, but he may be stuck in a power struggle well beyond his control. 
    Brimming with action, the alternating POVs in “Too Late to Say Goodbye” explore the depths of friendship and ambition. The novel answers the question: How far are people really willing to go for revenge?
