A Matter of Payback

A young bride’s life is snuffed out on December 2, 2001 in Haifa, Israel, when a Palestinian suicide bomber destroys a bus. One hundred and ninety-three souls are lost on March 11, 2004, when a coordinated bomb attack occurs on the Cercanías commuter train system in Madrid, Spain, with a Scottish SAS Sergeant Major’s fiancée among the dead. What do these two events have in common? An Iranian terrorist who goes by the name Mohammad al-Qaedi.

Fast forward 20 years, black ops operators Michael Wolfe and Ian McGill join forces for a clandestine mission inside Iran. They come back burned out and both yearning for retirement from careers that have taken everything but their lives. During this mission, they uncover the identity of the person responsible for the deaths of their loved ones 20 years earlier.

When Britain’s House of Parliament and Big Ben are targeted by al-Qaedi, the president of the United States sends Wolfe to London in an effort to assist MI6. He prevents the massive bombing and, in the process, eliminates the terrorist’s source of weapons and funding.

The Iranian extremist vows vengeance.
