Book Synopsis

If my grandfather''s letter had stopped at the comma, I would have tossed it in the trash... I would have mentally told the old man to stick it, if it hadn''t been for the last three words. If you can...

Van Shaw was raised to be a thief, but at the age of eighteen he abruptly abandoned the illicit life and joined the US Army, leaving behind Seattle and the grandfather who taught him the trade.

But in a violent, high-stakes world where the lines between right and wrong are easily blurred, Van find
