"This new series has me very excited." —Brad Thor
As the brutal Russian mafia becomes the most powerful and deadly criminal enterprise in the U.S., it's up to covert operative Rob Tacoma to fight back, in a new series by New York Times bestseller Ben Coes.
Ruthless, clever, and unbelievably violent, the Russian mafia has rapidly taken over the criminal underworld in the U.S. and law enforcement has been unable to stem the tide. When a powerful Russian mob family declares war by publicly executing two high-profile American politicians, the message is unmistakable – opposition will be met with overwhelming deadly force. With no other viable options, the President creates a clandestine assassinations team to find and eliminate the unreachable men running this deadly criminal operation.
The CIA recruits two Tier 1 operators – former Navy SEALs Billy Cosgrove and Rob Tacoma. But before they can even get started, the Russians act – murdering Cosgrove in his own home. Now Tacoma is on his own against an organization with endless resources and no boundaries. Step one requires the near impossible - find and kill the hidden mob boss behind Cosgrove's death. To do this, he'll have to take on an army in a battle where there are no rules and no limits.

      This nifty thriller from bestseller Coes (Bloody Sunday) introduces private operative Rod Tacoma, a former Navy SEAL and friend of the author’s series hero, Dewey Andreas, who makes a cameo appearance. A faction of the Russian mob carries out two high-level assassinations—of a Republican senator and a Democratic governor, both leaders in the fight against the Russian mafia—as a warning to the U.S. government to get out of their business. The CIA forms a special kill unit to go after the Russians. After a pair of assassins kill the original team leader, Tacoma takes over the operation. The odds are stacked against him because the Russians own a traitor in the government, the senior California senator, who keeps the bad guys apprised of the operation from its very inception. In the exciting climax, Tacoma goes hand-to-hand with the Russian mob boss. Authentic tradecraft and top-notch action scenes propel the plot. Coes continues to more than hold his own in a crowded thriller field. Agent: Nicole James, Chalberg & Sussman.

      Taking a break from his New York Times best-selling Dewey Andreas novels, Coes introduces Rob Tacoma. Rob has been picked as deputy by Bo Coll, head of the CIA's Special Operations Group, who is organizing a team to counter the breathtakingly violent Russian mafia. Rob's parents were killed by the Russians, then so is Bo, which means gloves-off conflict.
