With Jake Beamer's name, I waited for Angelo's people to find me. I thought the attack would come on Day Five. I thought they would send at least a group of guys. Instead, they sent just one, and I learned I had run into Angelo's people before. \*\*

Review
"Just read it in one sitting . . . Two stories from within another story and that outer story is going to get spread around. Well Done!"
"A rare book that takes you into deep into the reasoning, analysis, and pattern recognition in how situations take place . . . Looking forward to more!!!! Clancy may be gone but Braddock is here!"
"I just love this book. I love the REASONING. It's one thing to read about what you should do, how you should reason. But a case study, narrated along, is awesome."
From the Inside Flap
When I knocked on the door, I didn't know what kind of scam they were running. I knew it involved girls, because a girl brought me to their door. But I didn't know they were the guys who killed my friend until I saw the guns they were using.
I had another problem: An ex-spy can go soft, and I had. I still knew how to do everything, but I did it slower. I did it worse. I didn't do it as cleanly as I used to do it. Which is why Jake would have brought me back slowly, if he could have. But he couldn't. Because sometimes things happen faster than you think.
