Synopsis

Torture.
Ghost Detainees.
And a massive cover-up that continues even today.Marooned in a Manila jail after a bar fight fatality, black ops soldier Ben Treven gets a visit from his former commander, Colonel Scott Horton, who explains the price of Ben's release: find and eliminate Daniel Larison, a rogue operator from Ben's unit who has stolen ninety-two torture tapes from the CIA and is using them to blackmail the U.S. government.But other players are after the tapes, too, and to find Larison, Ben will have to survive CIA hit teams, Blackwater mercenaries, and the long reach of the White House. He'll also have to find a way to handle Paula Lanier, a smart, sexy FBI agent who has her own reasons for wanting the tapes and is determined to get them before Ben does. With the stakes this high, everyone has an angle—everyone but Ben, who will have to find the right alliance if he wants to stay alive."A thrill-seeker's book.… Perhaps most interesting of all, the story is based on true events: 92 missing CIA interrogation tapes that allegedly included recordings of prisoners being tortured. Eisler's latest offering doesn't reinvent the genre, but it certainly pumps it full of adrenaline." —The Daily Beast

Goodreads review by Jim

An interesting premise & I really liked the end. Political, but not party politics. Ben is definitely in a quandary with a lot of action & no one is clean. This is taken straight from the headlines, too. There's enough truth there that it makes you wonder if it is fiction or not. I like Ben as a hero......more

Goodreads review by Glen

Part of the Ben Treven series. I think Eisler was trying to do a riff on the Bourne theme with the series. After a barfight in Thailand, Treven lands in jail. His former commanding officer gets him out, if he'll get some videotapes of the CIA torturing people. Treven doesn't really know what's going......more

Goodreads review by Ivy

Videos von Verhören und Folter der CIA. Diese sind jetzt verschwunden. Das war die Schlagzeile damals. Genau da setzt die Story an. Die Geschichte und das Netz aus Intrigen sind bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht und interessant. Man kann sich vorstellen, dass das was erzählt wird auch genauso passi......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey

During the Bush presidency, the CIA taped various interrogations and it was reported in the news that the tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. Eisler's latest novel, literally ripped right from this headline is that that the tapes were not destroyed, but were in fact ripped off by a rogue agen......more
