Take Cover

The Agency Files, Book 7

Smith Abingdon needs The Agency’s protection—or he’s a dead man.

Thief. Arms dealer. Assassin. The list of what Smith Abingdon will do is far longer than what he won’t. He doesn’t deal in drugs or trafficking, but he’s made enough enemies that when someone takes a shot at him—twice—he knows he’s out of chances. The Agency is his last option.

When rumors of Helen Franklin’s return coincide with a call for help from one of the world’s most notorious criminals, Marco Mendina has every reason to be suspicious. But saving lives is the job. And if it ends with Smith handed over to federal agents, that’s not exactly a loss.

Smith, however, has one ace left to play. Risking prosecution and death, he holds out for the perfect moment to play it.

There’s still a traitor inside The Agency. Now they’re protecting an enemy while another closes in. Helen isn’t coming back to negotiate—she’s taking over. And like any good takeover artist, she’ll eliminate the dead weight first.

Her opening move: Keith Auger’s wife.

The Agency will do whatever it takes.

The question is whether it will be enough.
