From Award Winning Author P D Baldwin How far would you go for revenge? On the surface Alexis "Alex" Stratton has the perfect life. He's a multimillionaire real-estate mogul who also moonlights as a restaurateur and nightclub owner. Keeping up appearances means traveling first class, partying with celebrities, and embracing all the benefits of his jet-setting playboy lifestyle, which includes bedding his pick of beautiful, exotic women. Reality is much darker than this glossy veneer suggests, however, and nobody can know the truth about the man whose colleagues call him "Black Mamba"-a man who has built a lucrative career as one of the deadliest assassins the world has ever known. But the skilled assassin also has a secret he must maintain, one that has nearly broken him. Five years ago, while working undercover in a Jamaican drug posse, Alex had everything that mattered stripped away from him-and it was all because of Simon Felix, the very man the United States government had hired him to kill. In the process of a hit gone wrong, Alex's cover was blown, his fiance was murdered, and a target was placed on his back. Now back from the grave, he'll stop at nothing until he takes everything from Simon that Simon took from him, including the wife he covets. In his quest to destroy Simon, Alex must journey down a path that has life altering consequences. His sanity will be tested, his friendships will be destroyed, and his actions will put him in the cross hairs of the FBI. His journey takes yet another unexpected turn when a romance with a beautiful stranger has him questioning his heart and his decisions. Will the vengeful assassin find it in his soul to leave the anger and pain behind, or will he gamble everything in pursuit of revenge? As action-packed as it is thought-provoking, this first book in the Operation Cover-up series takes readers on a journey that's gripping, raw, and darkly realistic. While tackling various social and religious issues, this gritty erotic thriller dares to go where few works of its genre have dared to go before-the darkest reaches of the human psyche, where nothing is as it seems and every decision has real-life consequences. While this book is entirely fictional, readers of Alex Stratton's story may find themselves stopping to consider the decisions they make in their own lives. In doing so, they will also take a moment to think about what might really be going on behind closed doors. With equal parts action, suspense, drama, mystery, and eroticism, the imaginative plot and uniquely realistic characters of Operation Cover-up make it a page-turner from beginning to end.
