John Rain #7: The Detachment
Colonel Scott Horton tracks Rain down in Tokyo, offering a multi-million dollar payday for the 'natural causes' demise of three ultra-high-profile targets who plan to launch a coup in the US. But for a job this big, Rain will need a detachment of other deniable irregulars: his partner Dox, Ben Treven, and Larison. These four lone wolf killers will have to survive presidential hit teams, secret CIA prisons, and a national security state as obsessed with guarding its own secrets as it is with invading the privacy of the populace. But first, they'll have to survive each other.
