SUDDEN KILL: Cole Sudden C.I.A. Thriller #1

AN ULTRA-SECRET C.I.A. UNIT HAS HACKED ALL THE NATION’S WITNESS PROTECTION LISTS. WHAT DOES IT DO WITH THEM?It forms an unholy alliance with vengeful mob bosses. In return for loads of cash, the unit’s agents bump off mob turncoats. The C.I.A. unit, feared even by other agency operatives, insists on two caveats. The doomed turncoats must be deserving of the death penalty. And the mob bosses must provide anti-terrorist information when and where they can. A win-win situation, right. The C.I.A. gets information, and a slush fund it can hide from Congress. And some real slimebuckets get taken off the board. What could go wrong? Well, plenty, when the agency’s apex assassin kills the wrong man. If you like government intrigue, colorful characters and crackerjack dialogue, SUDDEN KILL is right up your alley. And it’s just a click away!*** “Pulitzer-nominee Lawrence De Maria has another winner in Cole Sudden, an assassin working in an obscure C.I.A. unit even the agency worries about!” (John Crudele, NEW YORK POST)“A Lawrence De Maria title gives you more bang for your buck than just about anything in the book marketplace today.” (FLORIDA WEEKLY)“A master of thriller dialogue.” (WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS)“While De Maria may have been an award-winning financial reporter, he's an awfully good fiction writer as well.” (NAPLES DAILY NEWS)INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM:THE UNITED STATESTHE DRONE(A Jake Scarne Thriller): “No matter what the series, De Maria’s characters are sure to act with boldness and courage.
