About the Book
Jack Taylor, a freshly retired 42 year old U.S. Army MSgt, arrives in Gibraltar and takes up residence as an expat retiree. Informed his military pension won’t be enough to live on, thereby jeopardizing his Gibraltar residence permit, Jack is open to recruitment efforts by organizations that hire paramilitary contractors. Capitalizing on the skills he acquired during his military career as a special forces operative, Jack—working alone or with others—takes on assignments ranging from providing security services to undertaking extraction ops of high value individuals. The CIA station chief in Gibraltar, along with agents of MI-5 and MI-6, soon begin to rely on Jack’s skills. Wishing to provide Jack a socially acceptable cover for his occasional covert operations they pull strings to secure for Jack a private investigator’s license as well as a concealed weapons permit. Jack’s debut as a bonafide private detective cements his local reputation as a resourceful person ready to assist, but he knows those who value his covert operational skills will not easily cut him loose.
