The Ryzhkov Vendetta by Barry L. Becker

About The Ryzhkov Vendetta by Barry L. Becker:

Alexander Leonidovich Ryzhkov, a Russian oligarch and former general in the Russian Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU), runs a covert operation in the Middle East on behalf of his best friend, the prime minister of Russia. Ryzhkov supplies Saudi terrorists with four Russian-made nuclear suitcase bombs and a list of two US cities to target. A CIA operation thwarts the planned attack and kills many Russian operatives, including his brother Sergei Ryzhkov. The oligarch is out for revenge.
Ryzhkov approaches a former CIA station chief and offers him money in exchange for the CIA operatives’ names. Armed with this intelligence, he launched his vendetta, targeting the former CIA operatives Mark Ericksen, now CEO of EyeD4 Systems, his fiancé Kate McDonald, a banking consultant, and Lars Wahlberg, COO of EyeD4 Systems.
Can Ericksen and his former operatives avoid the assassins’ poisoning efforts and turn around the deadly game of hunter and prey?

About The Ericksen Connection:

The Ericksen Connection is a spy thriller about betrayal, PTSD, corruption, conspiracy, terrorism, and murder. Mark Ericksen, the former Navy SEAL Team Six operator and executive vice president of EyeD4 Systems, a biometrics defense contractor based in Wilsonville, Oregon, was all about duty, honor, and country. He resigned from his commission in 2002 and, over the next several years, worked for three defense contractors, maintaining his top-secret security clearance while hiding his PTSD.
In 2009, the CIA received actionable intelligence about a Saudi terrorist mastermind aided by Russian arms dealers who needed a classified biometrics encryption communications system from EyeD4 Systems to direct his sleeper cell operatives in launching a horrific nuclear attack on American cities.
When America urgently needs his services again, the CIA tasks him with Operation Avenging Eagles to sabotage the plot. Can Ericksen avoid discovery and thwart the nuclear attack before a network of terrorists achieves their plans?

Rabbit Moon by Jan D Payne

Rabbit Moon by Jan D Payne

They say you can’t go back home…but Marin Sinclair doesn’t think answering a plea for help from a dying friend is something that will turn out to be life-threatening. Dinetah, the Navajo Nation and the place she grew to adulthood, holds some dark memories she’d rather not revisit—like betrayal, suicide, and heartbreak—but what about her life then would make someone want to kill her?
