The Deadly Deal
David Centrelli is a junior business development executive at a pharmaceutical company in Richmond with no military training or criminal record whatsoever...but an innocent knock on the door one typical Monday morning changes his life forever.
Thrust into a world of unbelievable accusations, outrageous claims and danger he's only seen in the movies, he's told that his best friend's death two weeks earlier was no accident, and that his buddy has a message for him from the grave. As skeptical as he is, clues far too specific to be coincidental keep coming, and soon his own home is engulfed in flames. When the perpetrator contacts him, he learns that not only are the accusations legitimate, but that people trained to eliminate problems have labeled him one.
Blackmailed by decisions he made years ago, informed that his brother has been kidnapped, and threatened with a future not even his worst nightmare could imagine, the temptation to give up what he knows and disappear into affluent anonymity grows stronger by the second...until he learns that millions of lives depend on him trying to do the right thing. But can this ordinary businessman really escape death from experts trained to administer it and prevent a colossal calamity already set in motion by the highest levels of government?
