But this isn\u2019t just some run-of-the-mill arms dealer with a grudge. This time, I&#8217;m being hunted by the man who killed my father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five years ago when my father went missing, I found the man responsible and thrust him into the deepest, darkest hole the Russian prison system had to offer. Anton Sokolov should be rotting away, miserably surviving on gray mush and zero sunlight. But someone got him out, and now he\u2019s bent on revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be one thing if he came after me himself\u2014I can handle an old man with a gun in my sleep. But he\u2019s not alone. Along with putting out a hit on my life, it turns out that Sokolov is the new head of the very terrorist organization my team has been fighting for weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the precautions I take to hide my identity, Sokolov couldn\u2019t have tracked me down on his own. Even with all of Black Sun\u2019s resources at his disposal, there should be no way for him to find me at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless he had help from&nbsp;<em>us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t fight this alone, but looping in my team means revealing some of the very secrets I\u2019ve worked so hard to conceal. And with the threat of a mole in our ranks, protecting my double life is more important than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I trust my teammates, but how will they react when they find out the depths of my lies? Some truths take time to accept. But with a price on my head, time is one thing we don\u2019t have on our side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone is trying to kill me.
