    In this espionage classic by the New York Times bestselling author of The Company, two CIA operatives—one with something to hide, the other with something to prove—face off when a top-secret scheme is exposed. 
     
     
     
    The most elite levels of the CIA's Counterintelligence unit are on the verge of pulling off an operation so huge it will change global politics—and so secret that it has no paper trail. But the operation's organizer, Roger Wanamaker, has evidence that the plan has sprung a leak. Now it is a deadly race against time to "walk back the cat"—isolate the leak and plug it—before the scheme is exposed and an international conflict is ignited. 
     
     
     
    Meanwhile analyst Silas Sibley—nicknamed "The Weeder" due to his talent for parsing intelligence with experimental computer technology—has uncovered information no one was ever meant to find. Now he has to decide what to do with it: expose the unfolding atrocity, even if it means cutting the knees out from the intelligence agency he works for and has, up until now, believed in? Or is there some other solution? Clinging fiercely to the legacy of his ancestor American Revolutionary war hero Nathan Hale, the Weeder takes matters into his own hands. Surprising and complex, this psychological deep dive into obsession, loyalty, and history, poses the question: Whose truth should be believed?

    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?

    Jessica Morrison’s parents were murdered sixteen years ago. Now the killer is coming for her.
    Looking back, Jessica had a picture-perfect childhood, but that was all ripped to shreds when her loving parents were killed. Eventually, the case went cold and Jessica realized the police barely investigated. She was too young to do anything about their inaction, so she concentrated on growing up as fast as possible under the care of her uncle.
    But life had never been the same after that day and her uncle never opened up about the details of her parents death.
    And he never will because now he’s dead.
    Jessica recognizes that the killer used the same signature as her parent’s death. It has to be the same killer and once again the police don’t want to investigate. There’s something suspicious going on and Jessica begins to understand why her uncle never talked about her parent’s murders–to protect her.

    In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type.  But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.   
     
    Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.
