The Shot To Die For (An MP-5 CIA Thriller, Book 2)

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.

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.
 

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.

“Matching up a terrorist with a shoulder-fired missile, that’s our worst nightmare,” stated Senator Barbara Boxer, D-California, in September, 2011.

A member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Boxer made the comment to ABC News after the network disclosed that “an estimated 20,000 man-portable surface-to-air missiles” were missing from Libyan Army weapon warehouses.

Fact: Thousands of surface-to-air missiles are still missing today.

Fact: According to the FAA, an estimated 5,000 airplanes are in the skies over the United States at any given moment. 

M.H. Sargent has combined these facts into a taut, new thriller. The story unfolds at breakneck speed as terrorists take down a commercial flight from Vancouver, B.C. to Phoenix four days before Christmas, killing all on board. While the public is told that the plane crash was due to mechanical error, an elite CIA team working covertly inside the United States knows the truth: it was a missile. And worse, the terrorists have more.

But where are they? And what planes are next on their list? Seemingly powerless to stop the Islamic fanatics, the CIA comes up with a daring plan to have two of their own people infiltrate the terror cell. But when the pair vanishes into thin air, so does any hope of stopping the madmen in their quest to take out more planes.

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.


M.H. Sargent is also the author of the popular CIA thriller MP-5 series including Seven Days From Sunday, The Shot To Die For, Operation Spider Web, The Yemen Connection and Alliance of Evil.

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. Signs suggest that a three year-old murder trial might lie at the heart of things, but it’s a case that many in the department would prefer remained closed. A man of quiet integrity, Lt. Gunther knows that he must pursue the case to its conclusion, wherever it leads.

Open Season is the first of Archer Mayor’s twenty-three Joe Gunther novels, a series of gripping police procedurals set in New England, where small-town charm, stoicism and civility sometimes conceal brutal truths.
