Stinger

An International Thriller

By: Gregory D. Lee

Narrated by: Doug Greene

It's February 2023. An Alluring and determined CIA Case Officer, June Cohen, must flawlessly execute an unsanctioned plan of action or the U.S. will invade Iraq to search for weapons of mass destruction.

She coerces Robaire Assaly, a Los Angeles based DEA Confidential Informant, to take part in her elaborate scheme. Robaire agrees, however, in doing so, he must betray his long-time DEA Agent handler, Gary Lowery, to get what she needs. Robaire soon realizes June has tricked him into taking the blame for stealing a Stinger missile, which she pulled off right under the nose of the hapless FBI.

The duped FBI and Gary desperately want Robaire. He's now frantically on the run as an international fugitive with the FBI and Gary relentlessly pursuing him and the stolen Stinger before it is used against an unknown target. However, June finds Robaire first before he can reveal the CIA's involvement to the Feds.

Critic reviews

"A superbly written work of thriller fiction!" -Christopher Amato, author of Shadow Investigation

Knowledgeable and realistic

This book was written with evident insider knowledge of the capabilities, frustrations, and bureaucracies of inter-agency federal government work. The story is slow-burning, but it manages to keep the reader's attention with realistic action and drama sequences. No big Hollywood-style explosions - just interesting scenes and characters that feel very tangible. A great story for people who want a fun, fictional story that exists within the framework of how the DEA, FBI, and CIA may actually work in the real world.
