The Price of Deceit - Mike Boshier

The Price of Deceit

In a world violated by terror, the once black and white terms of engagement have become grey.

One man is determined to stop World War Three.

Now a civilian, to the public ex-US Navy SEAL John Deacon is a businessman running his own security company offering personal protection to VIPs and dignitaries.

Only a few very senior people under the President know the truth ...

Funded with ‘black’ money from secret funds, Deacon is the guy the President calls on when certain dilemmas or complications need resolving. Dilemmas and complications the President can later deny.

From helping rescue hostages taken by Boko Haram to the delicate discussions with a would-be defector - the daughter of a senior Chinese official - Deacon handles it all.

But when an enemy submarine starts attacking shipping and China plans to impose passage taxes in the South China Sea, and the US and China move closer and closer to all-out war, Deacon takes on his biggest and most dangerous mission yet.

Deep behind enemy lines and with the odds stacked heavily against him, capture will mean certain death.

Success or failure is a mere hairsbreadth apart ...
