Synopsis

In "The Second Pearl," Mike Bentley delivers a gripping military thriller that propels readers into a terrifying near-future conflict between the United States and China. When American intelligence agent Jennifer Duncan discovers a massive secret Chinese military operation inside a mountain cavern, she sets in motion a chain of events that will reshape the global order.
 
As China faces dwindling resources and an environmental crisis threatening starvation for millions, its leadership launches "Operation Unity" – a daring plan to seize control of the Western Pacific using a fleet of disguised container ships carrying tanks, troops, and devastating drone technology. When these "Dragons" simultaneously attack ports across the Pacific Rim, from San Diego to Sydney, the world is caught completely unprepared.
 
With U.S. carriers sinking, Taiwan under assault, and Chinese forces storming ashore in Vietnam, Korea, and the Philippines, President Spencer Stilwell faces impossible choices. His only hope lies with a desperate mission led by Tim Duncan to kidnap Chinese leadership and force a ceasefire before nuclear options are considered.
 
Meticulously researched and terrifyingly plausible, Bentley crafts a pulse-pounding tale of espionage, sacrifice, and modern warfare that serves as both thrilling entertainment and sobering warning. "The Second Pearl" examines the fragile balance of international power and what happens when a nation crosses the line from competition to conflict.

    It's summer of 1899 and the state of Wyoming has been unresponsive for an increasingly alarming amount of time. No mail nor telegram communication has ever been sent out or responsive, which has prompted the United States Postal Inspection Service to investigate. The inspector general has selected US Postal Inspector Jed Pluck from Boston, Massachusetts to team up with another postal inspector named Louie Secoli to investigate these towns along the railroad. The peculiarity of this case, in contrast to others they had investigated previously, is that the only evidence they have is a strange, large black-red feather, sharp enough to slice through skin. 
    Leaving his family once again, Jed hitches the train with Louie, and they set off for Wyoming. Upon arriving in Cheyenne, they found Wyoming's capital deserted—and covered in the very same peculiar feathers. The next few towns along the railroad all share the same description: no bodies in sight and covered in the same feathers. 
    Only one town along the railway has been spared from the disappearances. Lemonstown, a town near the Red Desert, remains active but unaware of the fate of the other towns. Fearing that Lemonstown would be the next town to be raided, the two postal inspectors must solve the mystery of the strange creature and help the townspeople before Lemonstown becomes the next ghost town covered in feathers

    Follow the aroma of shamrock sugar cookies to the Beacon Bakeshop, a lighthouse on the shores of Lake Michigan where amateur sleuth Lindsey Bakewell is busy preparing for Beacon Harbor's St. Patrick's Day festivities—with a little help from her adorable Newfoundland, Wellington, of course! 
     
     
     
    Lindsey is baking up a storm—shamrock sugar cookies, Guinness chocolate cupcakes, Irish soda bread—for the well-timed grand opening of the Irish import gift shop, the Blarney Stone, owned by her boyfriend's uncle, Finnigan O'Connor, recently relocated from the Emerald Isle. 
     
     
     
    But it's Uncle Finn himself who seems full of blarney when he gleefully reveals a pot of real gold he claims he stole from an actual leprechaun. And Finn's fortune takes a turn for the worse when he's arrested for the bludgeoning of a small unidentified man dressed as a leprechaun—the murder weapon alleged to be his now-missing shillelagh. 
     
     
     
    Eccentric Uncle Finn may enjoy believing he's outwitted a leprechaun, but he would never be so deluded as to clobber one with his walking stick. Now Lindsey will need more than the luck of the Irish to seize a golden opportunity to catch the real killer . . .

    Frank Cardova provides logistic support for a highly effective team of deadly operatives known as Charlemagne, the premier freelance specialist team used by Western governments for black operations conducted without fingerprints. Mack, the team’s knife-wielding leader, and his son Charlie arrive on Frank’s doorstep bringing chaos, terror, and violence with them. 
    The last thing Frank ever wants to see is Louis, the volatile marksman of the team, anywhere near his home, let alone sitting at the kitchen table drinking a martini meant for him and flirting with his wife. For Frank, the men of Charlemagne have become the ultimate houseguests from hell. 
    Mack offers Frank’s subordinate, Steve Donovan, a chance to join the team after the fallout of a recent disaster puts his young family at risk. As Frank watches Steve turn into a killer and his wife and daughter discover what his thirty-year career has been all about, he helps the team save the lives of Steve’s family while dreading the danger to his own. 
    Can Frank trust anyone in his immediate circle? 
    Brevet Wedge is the third novel in K.A. Bachus’s fast-paced Charlemagne Files series chronicling the lives of a team of deadly Cold War intelligence operatives over three decades.
