Sinossi

At the height of the Troubles, a young American Special Forces soldier must find and stop his vengeful former comrade-in-arms before he carries out a devastating terrorist strike for the IRA. Once friends, they are now pawns on opposite sides of an ugly war.It is the height of the Troubles and Northern Ireland lies under a shadow… When Neil Fitzpatrick, a rogue Green Beret soldier, is recruited by the Irish Republican Army to help prepare a terrorist attack, Paul Stavros, his former teammate, is sent to stop him and bring him home alive. Fitzpatrick, the American son of an Irish rebel who was forced to flee his birthplace, is a Special Forces demolitions expert. Fitzpatrick knows his trade and has a personal agenda with the IRA. Alarm bells erupt when the US government learns that Fitzpatrick has gone over to the IRA. The American public can’t find out that one of its elite soldiers is involved in terrorism and the US government won’t rely on the British to find him. They need someone who knows Fitzpatrick and how he operates. Who better than one of his former teammates? Paul Stavros is also a Special Forces veteran. He knows little of the Irish Troubles but is about to learn. What he does know is how to fix problems and Neil has just become his biggest headache. But before Stavros can go operational, he must endure an arduous and hazardous selection process to be accepted by the joint SAS-intelligence cell that will back him up. The British aren’t happy with Stavros on their turf; they’d rather do the job themselves—quickly, cleanly, and terminally. Once, Fitzpatrick and Stavros were comrades and friends. Now they are pawns on opposite sides of an ugly war where all is fair and no one is innocent. The British want to kill one, the IRA wants to kill the other. It’s a race to see who will be first.

Beneath These Walls

Shade Owens

Six months ago, my husband tried to kill me. 
Now, my sons and I are living in an old Victorian house passed down to me by my uncle. The house may be big, but the town is small... it's safe, which is something I haven't felt in a very long time. And best of all, it's very far away from my ex. 
As soon as we move in, however, I discover that this house has an eerie reputation. Rumor has it my uncle was a mysterious man accused of atrocious things, which is drawing a lot of unwanted attention our way. 
And the last thing we need is attention; we need to stay invisible if we want to stay alive. 
But how can we remain invisible when things keep happening in this house? Strange things. Horrific things that has the whole town watching. Maybe even him. We were supposed to be safe here, but it's becoming glaringly apparent to me that we're in real danger. 
Then I remind myself: I'm a mother. 
And a mother will do anything to protect her children.

End Game - A Mason Sharpe...

Logan Ryles

Mason Sharpe has some lethal skills. In this little town, he’s going to need them. 
 
On a dark Alabama highway, army veteran Mason Sharpe witnesses a terrible accident. As he fights to rescue a woman from the burning vehicle he notices one of her eyes is bright blue, the other deep brown. Then, she vanishes. Gone without a trace. 
 
When Mason describes her to local police, they’re stunned. His description matches one Delia Crawford, famed for her unusual eyes. But Delia disappeared as a child, eleven years prior. How could she possibly show up in a car accident now? 
 
But Mason knows what he saw. His gut tells him something deeply sinister is going down, and Delia Crawford is somehow involved. 
 
Why will none of the locals talk about Delia? Why is one mining company still turning big profits in a town crippled by the industry’s decline? And why is Mason being followed by two shady characters in a pitch black pickup truck? 
 
Like a hunting dog on the scent, he digs deep to uncover the grim truth — and comes to the attention of some very violent men. 
 
They want him gone, but he’s not going anywhere. Push Mason into a corner, and he’ll push right back. All the way to the End Game.
