About this ebook

Jack Taylor, a retired U.S. Army MSgt now living in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and working as a private investigator is called upon to investigate a kidnapping that has taken place on the Tunisian island of Djerba. As he tracks down the perpetrators he discovers the abduction of the young woman was not simply a local crime, but one involving a European criminal gang as well as persons linked to a foreign government. The complicated pursuit of the abducted woman leads Jack from the island of Djerba to the island of Malta and ultimately to Sicily. Jack is obliged to return to the island of Djerba almost immediately following the resolution of the kidnapping, but this time as part of a CIA-sponsored paramilitary force tasked with rescuing a U.S. Army covert signals team—a mission where his previous career as a special forces operator is once again put to the test. Then, back in Gibraltar, Jack is promptly recruited by Britain’s MI-5 to assist in exposing an espionage effort meant to weaken the Territory’s ties with Great Britain.
