A Category One hurricane. A billion-dollar Viking hoard. An ex-CIA operator caught in the crossfire.
Ex-CIA assassin Jonathan Hunt thought he was hired for a simple, highly paid protection detail on the Isle of Skye.
His cover: a scarred, hulking logistics coordinator carrying heavy equipment for a geological survey team. But as a Category One hurricane batters the isolated Scottish island, Jonathan quickly realizes his clients aren't scientists tracking barometric pressure. They are corporate handlers orchestrating the theft of a perfectly preserved, ninth-century Viking longship loaded with ancient silver, buried deep in an acidic peat bog.
Jonathan soon discovers he was hired simply to be a loud, American decoy while his clients' hit squad decapitates the local smuggling syndicate. But the local kingpin isn't going down without a fight, and the island descends into absolute chaos. Jonathan finds himself trapped between heavily armed factions.
Stranded in the freezing mud with zero communications, Jonathan must shed his unassuming cover and unleash the violent skills from his dark past. From brutal, bare-knuckle combat on the petrified oak decking of a Viking ship to a deadly game of cat-and-mouse against a thermal-equipped sniper in a micro-climate of fog, Jonathan must navigate a maze of betrayal, greed, and high explosives.
Genre: Thriller
