Description:
Only
the CIA knows the truth, and all it would take for the president’s
legacy to be tarnished forever is for one agent involved to turn
rogue and reveal everything . . .
In
2011, American Seal Team Six killed Osama bin Laden in an
ultra-secret CIA operation hailed as the outgoing US president’s
crowning achievement. Pakistan's chief investigator into US Operation
Neptune Spear concluded Bin Laden was betrayed by Al Qaeda itself,
fooling the CIA and gaining the US president’s bounty on their
ailing leader’s head: $25,000,000, which may have given birth to
deadly ISIS.
Loner,
Agent Ben Markstein, betrayed and primed for retribution by his
obsession with the Pakistani beauty at the dark heart of HARD ACT, an
unsanctioned covert black operation planned by former US Senator
Wendell Strachan to save the president and regain the $25,000,000
held in a Liechtenstein bank account by Saudi Prince Faisal bin
Sharif, CEO of a billion-dollar Islamic charity trust and secret
terrorist money-launderer.
Markstein
learns that Serena Lashari, the beautiful, clever, successful
Geneva-based fund-manager is Prince Faisal’s lover and has the
account codes. He acts ruthlessly, manipulating Wendell Strachan and
the black operation to win Serena and the money for himself.
Against
a background of political conspiracy and escalating violence across
Europe, culminating in potential catastrophe at a nuclear-armed
U.S.A.F air-base in England, Ben Markstein plays HARD ACT’s
ruthless game to win – even at the cost of the lives of all who
stand in his way.
About
the Author:
Glover
Wright has a background in entertainment. He was lead-guitarist in
the 1960’s for American Rock Legends Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene
Vincent on their British tours, recorded as Buddy Britten & the
Regents, was with the Beatles in their early Hamburg days and,
through his friendship with John Lennon, became composer and producer
with The Beatles Apple Music. After the Beatles split, he signed
with Mercury records USA, had success as Simon Raverne and toured
widely entertaining US troops, an experience he remembers with
pride.
With
writing in mind, he broke from music in the 1970’s and spent time
with contract soldiers and British SAS units in Oman, resulting in
his debut novel The Torch, which was accepted immediately by Putnam
USA and published worldwide including many translations. During his
extended period in the Middle East he met many figures later to shape
world events, including Libya’s Moammar al-Gaddafi and in Beirut’s
celebrity-haunt nightclub Le Cave de Roy was invited – after
being recognized and asked to perform a song on stage – to join the
table hosted by a wealthy young Saudi Arab named Osama Bin Laden.
Glover
Wright has had eight novels published to date and lives now in
Jersey, British Channel Islands. He still performs musically at
charity fund-raisers for servicemen and women wounded in action and
is proud to do so.
HARD
ACT
is his most hard-hitting and timely thriller to date. World
best-selling writer Jack Higgins describes it as: “The most
ingenious thriller I have read this year.”
