The Birdwatchers (An MP-5 CIA Thriller, Book 6)

Ten years after the 9/11 attacks, U.S. Navy SEALs finally brought a fitting end to Osama bin Laden's reign of terror.

Now, in retaliation for Bin Laden's death, sleeper cells are going live and attacking American citizens on their own soil. With more attacks likely, one has to ask, how did the terrorists get here? And how can they operate so effortlessly behind the scenes?

The answer is simple. They teamed up with a powerful Mexican drug cartel that smuggled them over the border - after they had been educated in the Mexican culture and learned to speak fluent Spanish - making it easier for them to blend in with the more than 37 million Latinos in America.

After ascertaining that the leader of these terrorist cells is based in Mexico, M.H. Sargent's MP-5 CIA team races to cut off the head of these terrorist cells before they can attack the U.S. again.

But this posting will challenge them like no other, as they find themselves caught in the crosshairs between two rival and vicious Mexican cartels.

This is the fifth novel in M.H. Sargent's popular MP-5 CIA series.

A very wealthy Yemen businessman is in a bind: his adult son has been arrested in Saudi Arabia for drug trafficking - an offense that could lead to a life sentence.

A Yemeni terrorist has a bold plan that will make 9/11 look like child's play, killing thousands of Americans tourists in one fell swoop. But he has a problem. The plan costs money. A lot of money. And his financier has just been arrested.

M.H. Sargent's MP-5 CIA team wants to know what that plan is, and stop it. So, they have a simple solution: blackmail the businessman. If he poses as a jihadist sympathizer willing to fund the terrorist, thereby giving the CIA team details of the terror plot, his son receives a get-out-of-jail free card.

Of course, you know what happens with the best laid plans...

This is the fourth novel in M.H. Sargent's popular MP-5 CIA series.
 

An attractive female American doctor working at the Kandahar Air Base field hospital takes a special interest in a local teenage boy, wounded when he tried to set off a bomb. What no one at the hospital knows is that she is also a CIA agent, part of an elite 4-man team based at the Kandahar Air Base in Afghanistan. And she thinks the boy just may be able to help her team.

Meanwhile, the CIA agents get a tip that if NATO soldiers eat at a Kandahar City teahouse on a specific date, they will be contacted about impending Taliban movements. With accurate intelligence on the Taliban hard to come by, two agents have lunch at the appointed time.

Unbeknownst to them, this one act will set in motion a chain of events that will forever change the lives of one Afghan family and pit two countries with nuclear weapons capability - Pakistan and India - on a devastating collision course.

This is the third novel in M.H. Sargent's popular MP-5 CIA series.

The body of Marine Corporal Jason Briggs, missing for eight days, has been found in a Baghdad, Iraq field. Investigating the death is an elite 4-man CIA team first seen in M.H. Sargent's thriller, Seven Days From Sunday. Even though the team, including an attractive female doctor, has seen their fair share of bodies before, this one is different - they discover a computer flash drive embedded in the body.

Meanwhile, a photographer with The Iraq National Journal newspaper has been kidnapped. He unwittingly took a picture of someone in a compromising situation and the kidnappers want the digital memory card.

The owner of the newspaper and the man's family, all of whom had worked with the CIA team some months before to stop a major terrorist attack, appeal to operatives to help find him. Analyzing data on the flash drive, the team learns that Corporal Briggs death and the missing photographer are tied to the same insurgent group - a Palestinian terrorist cell that is desperate to recover the photographer's memory card.

But what is on the memory card? And does it have anything to do with the sudden collapse of Iraq's major banks?

This is the second novel in M.H. Sargent's popular MP-5 CIA series.

This WWII novel of Japanese-American honor and patriotism begins on March 30, 1942 when more than 250 Japanese-Americans living on Bainbridge Island, in Puget Sound, Washington, are being evacuated. The process goes quite smoothly until the Army discovers that a 21-year old Japanese-American fisherman, Matthew Kobata, is missing. During their search for Matthew, two Caucasian men are found murdered on the island.

Seattle detective Elroy Johnstone has come to the island to investigate the murders, and evidence is leading him to suspect Matthew may be involved. But he is one step behind as Matthew escapes on his fishing boat. With Matthew now emerging as the prime suspect in the murders, the detective's investigation then takes him to Seattle where another murder has occurred. This time a Japanese-American.

Complicating matters, the coroner finds that both the Japanese-American and one of the Caucasian men have identical tattoos, both on the left ankle. But what do these tattoos mean? And who has killed these three men? Matthew? And if so, why? And most important, where is Matthew?

Johnstone's investigation will take him from Seattle's Naval Air Station to the Manzanar Relocation Center in Owens Valley, California, and back to Bainbridge Island. And, although he doesn't know it, the clock is ticking and a countdown is in place for an event that could result in the unthinkable taking place Toward Night's End.

Lt. Joe Gunther of the Brattleboro, Vermont police force has a serious problem: in a community where a decade could pass without a single murder, the body count is suddenly mounting. Innocent citizens are being killed—and others set-up—seemingly orchestrated by a mysterious ski-masked man.
