‘Jed Walker is right there in Reacher’s rear-view mirror’ Lee Child, international bestselling author
—–
In the murky world of espionage the rules of war do not apply
2005: Jed Walker has just joined the CIA. As a ten-year veteran of Air Force Special Operations, Walker is used to being at the sharp end of things. But normally the front line is much further from home.
Sent to New Orleans on the trail of some desperate Russians, he has no choice but to team up with a female British agent. As the body count grows and Hurricane Katrina hits, it’s clear to Walker that no game has higher stakes. The winner takes all and he must succeed.
From Langley to Louisiana, Washington to Moscow, Jed Walker is going to be pushed to the limit – of what he can do, what he can take, and what he knows is right.

Melbournian Phelan gives British thriller writer Lee Child a run for his money
Walker's so hard he's got muscles in his spit
An absolute must-read for fans of Clancy, Ludlum et al
Phelan has mastered the art of action-packed international espionage fiction. Fans of Clancy, Ludlum, Deighton, etc will find themselves quickly sucked in
Melbourne-based author James Phelan continues to redefine the often stale and cliche ridden political thriller genre ... The genre is in safe hands - Phelan proves again that intelligent thriller is not necessarily an oxymoron
Vivid and suspenseful ... If you like espionage novels with plenty of grunt you can't go past it
