内容简介 Brandon Vale is a career thief -- the best there is. He's never been caught, never plans to be. Of course, there's the little problem of his serving out a prison term for a robbery gone bad -- one that he didn't commit. Then, one night, he is broken out of prison against his will by Richard Scanlon, the former FBI agent who framed him in the first place. Scanlon, who still has ties to the U.S. intelligence community, has discovered that a Ukrainian crime organization is auctioning twelve nuclear warheads to the highest bidder, but he can't convince the government that the sale isn't a hoax. The only way he can get his hands on the money is to arrange for Brandon to steal the $250 million necessary to take the warheads off the market. Not that Brandon has much choice in the matter -- it's either do it or go back to jail with the added years of a failed 'escape' tacked on to his sentence. But as the day of the warhead sale approaches, their carefully constructed plan begins to break down, and Brandon starts to suspect that the deal has even higher stakes than he had imagined.
作者简介 Kyle Mills lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he spends his
time skiing, rock climbing and writing books.

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From the Publisher Kyle Mills is an undiscovered gem in the UK. A close family
member worked for the security services in the US and so he, without giving
away any secrets, has a rare insight into how power and politics, crime and
control effects our world. He is also a terrific writer and creates great
maverick characters, cracking high-action plots and thinks up premises that
mess with all one''s preconceptions of what is right and wrong. In this book
he competes with TV''s ''24'' for sheer adrenalin. Try this and then try the
rest of his novels - you won''t be disappointed. Alex Bonham, Kyle Mills''s
