The Attitude Adjuster
(2014)(A book in the Cavanaugh series)
A collection of stories by David Morrell
From the New York Times bestselling author of the classic espionage novel, The Brotherhood of the Rose . . .
He calls himself Cavanaugh. No first name, and even ‘Cavanaugh’ isn’t his actual last name. He’s a protector. His hatred of bullies compelled him to enlist in Special Forces. Now as a civilian, he operates Global Protective Services, the world’s finest security company. His goal: to keep predators from their prey.
Following Cavanaugh’s missions in The Protector and The Naked Edge, Rambo-creator David Morrell presents three short stories that explore the psychology of a warrior compelled to risk his life for strangers. ‘Most people muddle through their lives,’ Cavanaugh tells a client. ‘All I can do is hope that if I keep them from dying a while longer, maybe they’ll find a way to justify remaining alive.’
In ‘Blue Murder,’ Cavanaugh matches wits with an assassin determined to kill a bestselling female novelist. In ‘The Controller,’ Cavanaugh and his wife, Jamie, confront the dilemma of how to protect a billionaire who refuses to take advice. In ‘The Attitude Adjuster,’ they discover that the Internet can be as dangerous an enemy as a stalker.
This collection includes an introduction in which Morrell describes his training as a protective agent.

—Chicago Sun-Times
‘Everything [Morrell} writes has a you-are-there quality, and that, coupled with his ability to propel characters through a scene, makes reading him like attending a private screening.’—Washington Post Book World
