Book Cover & Preview Text
Everyone’s attention focused on the meticulously dressed man seated at the head of the conference table. The slight tightening around his eyes and the flare of his nostrils indicated his fury. They’d lost a steady source of funds and compromised one of their operations. Even though they’d covered their tracks, he’d want to ensure there would be no further digging. The man was thorough. He was vengeful as well—someone would have to pay. “Exterminate. One of them has to go,” the man finally decided. He then circled a face on the photo in front of him. “Yes, sir,” the subordinate on his right agreed, before quietly exiting. The four remaining operatives waited. The man tapped the knot of his crimson silk tie with his index finger and adjusted the cuff on his black suit, and asked, “Have you found it?” Several shifted in their seats. All avoided his gaze. The seconds loudly ticked by. “So the answer is no,” the man concluded when no one spoke. “Find it!” he harshly ordered into the stillness. Knowing their lives depended on it, the operatives replied, “Yes, sir,” as one, and quickly filed out of the room. The man then looked across the table at his son. “They will find it.” “Yes,” his son confirmed. “Whatever the cost,” he coldly added. An icy chill lingered in the air long after they’d left the room.
