This story starts with Major Mike Foley, USAF (Ret). Mike lives in Chicago.Mike came home because his Mom passed away and he needs to be there for his Dad. Mike loves his Father, a retired Chicago cop. His wifes death hit him hard and Mike worries about him big time..Mike put 20 years in the Air Force as an intelligence officer. He served in the Second Gulf war and was down and dirty, right in the fighting in his quest for intelligence. Mike is no stranger to killing and trying to not get killed. He has an analytical mind thats a magnet for intelligence. He was very, very good at his job. The CIA has been recruiting him since he retired. Foley isn't ready to go down that road yet.Mike had just come home from a night out with Dad when he got an e-mail from his pal Vince. Vince is also an intelligence officer and a very good friend and he's still in the AF.What he sends Mike is a newpaper article on Homeless Rick. After reading the article and looking at the picture Mike is reminded of Sgt. Ricci. A guy who saved his life. A guy who took a serious head injury while saving Mike's life.Sgt. Ricci was never the same. He had severe head trauma and was sent home to his parents. He's was there for a while and just disappeared.Ricci's parents are very worried and glad when Mike calls with a line on their son. Mike lets them know he will call them when he meets with Homeless Rick.So begins one pretty good read.Foley is headed for Cali to see if this is indeed Sgt. Ricci. He runs into a stunning woman, murder, an international conspiracy, old friends and some very heavy enemies.Great read. Five stars.
