Sam Capra is a super intelligent London based CIA agent. Life was good - happily married, he is a loving husband and a father-to-be. He and his wife, Lucy, who is also a U.S. spy, refer to their baby as the Bundle. Life is good as he hurries to his office to make a presentation. Shortly after he arrives his phone beeps. As he says, "When your wife is seven months pregnant, you get a free pass on taking calls in meetings."
He steps outside the room to take the call and hears Lucy say, "I need you to meet me outside." She insists, so he runs outside the office building where he sees Lucy in the passenger seat of a gray Audi - she looked right at him.
"Then the blast hit." The entire top floor of his office building had been shattered - all his friends. colleagues, 20 people have been killed. The Audi has sped off and Lucy is missing.
Logically enough, the authorities believe the bombing was done by a terrorist group, and since Sam is the only one left alive he must have been in cahoots with them. They also believe Lucy is a turncoat and helped the terrorists. Sam is taken to a secret CIA hideout where he is tortured mercilessly. But no matter the pain he cannot bring himself to believe Lucy has become a traitor. After what seems an eternity of cruel interrogation he manages to escape and go in search of Lucy and the child he believes has been born.
If you like a story that absolutely crackles with action ADRENALINE is for you. Sam Capra is a a likable hero, charismatic and an expert at parkour. He leaves readers wanting to hear from him again...and soon.
