    In this re-write of our 2023 best-selling novel CAGED, Marshall Black delves deeper into the gritty world of human trafficking and the love story that emerges from its shadows. Questions are answered, destinies are revealed, and this tale is seamlessly woven into the fabric of the Mike McHaskell Novel Series. 
    When CIA operative Mike McHaskell accepts a routine mission in Saudi Arabia, he doesn’t anticipate the trap waiting for him. Captured, stripped of his autonomy, and thrown into the dark world of human trafficking, Mike is forced to confront horrors that challenge even his unparalleled training and resilience. But he’s not alone—three women, all fighting for survival, become his unexpected allies in the most desperate of circumstances. 
    As the four battle to escape their captors, Mike discovers the web of deceit runs deeper than he ever imagined, connecting powerful elites with unimaginable atrocities. Revenge fuels him, but his path is far from straightforward. From deadly showdowns of his own past to quiet moments of raw emotion, Mike must navigate a world where trust is a commodity and every move could be his last. 
    But escaping isn’t enough. Mike’s darkest instincts resurface as he seeks vengeance for the suffering inflicted on those he’s come to care about. As the lines blur between justice and bloodlust, Mike must grapple with who he’s become—and if redemption is even possible. 
    Gritty, intense, and unrelenting, CAGED takes readers on a rollercoaster of action and emotion, exploring the depths of human depravity and the strength it takes to fight back. Updated and reimagined, this is the first chapter in the Mike McHaskell series—a story of survival, sacrifice, and the pursuit of justice at any cost.

    When an actor in a local play is attacked during a performance, Bruno must learn whether it was an accident, a crime of passion, or an assassination attempt with implications far beyond the small French village. 
     
    The town of Sarlat is staging a reenactment of its liberation from the British in the Hundred Years’ War when the play’s French hero, Brice Kerquelin, is stabbed and feared fatally wounded. Is it an unfortunate prop malfunction—or something more sinister? The stricken  
    man happens to be number two in the French intelligence service, in line for the top job. 
     
    Bruno is tasked with the safety of the victim’s daughters, Claire and Nadia, as well as their father’s old Silicon Valley buddies, ostensibly in town for a reunion. One friend from Taiwan, a tycoon in chip fabrication, soon goes missing, and Bruno suspects there may be a link  
    to the French government’s efforts to build a chip industry in Europe—something powerful forces in Russia and China are determined to scuttle. 
     
    Wading through a tangle of rivalries and secrets, Bruno begins to parse fact from fiction—while also becoming embroiled in some romantic complications, and, of course, finding time to put together some splendid meals.
