The Carlyle Deception

"A taut, well-plotted thriller with a compelling lead character."
Kirkus Reviews, Aug 2013.

Ever beat an opponent at their own game? Feels good, doesn't it.

Lambert Greene must transform himself from a dedicated family man into a cunning chameleon, willing to risk everything for his ultimate goal. He’s in over his head, and he knows it—but he can’t turn back.

Lambert adapts and survives on adrenaline-driven desperation, instinct, and the judicious use of brute force as he confronts the worst of civilization—the Taliban, opium smugglers, weapons merchants, corrupt locals and foreigners, and an insidious new, expanding regional threat. No government will protect him. In his new line of work, he’ll learn that more than money, trust is the most valuable currency.

His survival plan: repel all adversaries with their rules, then destroy them with his.
