Description
One retired intelligence officer, one criminal gang, and a struggle that may tear a city apart.
Hank McCaskill never thought of himself as a hero, much less a saint. While serving his fifth combat tour in the Middle East, he struggles daily with his faith. In his few moments of peace each day, he dreams of a peaceful retirement and a bountiful tomato patch. Hank must put his personal struggles aside, however, because he leads a team of intelligence analysts. Their mission is to find a brutal and elusive insurgent leader.
While Hank was fighting America’s enemies abroad, however, a gang of vicious criminals was terrorizing his hometown. Back on American soil, Hank’s dream of a peaceful retirement is shattered when he crosses paths with these violent men. Frustrated with the inaction of the police, and struggling with post-traumatic stress and alcoholism, Hank resolves to find these men. Using skills he learned in the Army, Hank begins his search, not yet understanding what may really be at stake, and not yet accepting that only the dead have seen the end of war.
Can Hank connect the dots and stop these men before they strike next? What dark secrets will his search uncover? And can he overcome his own demons along the way?
“Only the Dead” is the first book in the Hank McCaskill thriller series.
