He was supposed to be the witness no one knew about. Someone forgot to tell the terrorist.
Dr. Dwayne Smaak studies irrigation. He writes papers about strawberries. He has, on paper, the most boring job in the U.S. State Department.
On paper.
What Dwayne actually does — when the CIA asks nicely, which they do more often than he'd like — is have quiet conversations with farmers in remote places where Westerners aren't supposed to be having quiet conversations. He passes information up the chain. He doesn't ask questions. He goes home alive.
That has always been the deal.
The deal ends in an Indonesian farmhouse at 3 a.m. when an American drone, acting on intel Dwayne was never read into, fires a missile through the roof.
He wakes up in a Jakarta hospital with a blown eardrum, an arm in a cast, and the strong suspicion that the porcelain toilet he was pinned under is the only reason he's not dead.
The man the missile was meant for is Al Jezari — a Somali-born terrorist who has been the most wanted ghost in three intelligence services for over a decade. No one has ever seen Al Jezari's face and lived to describe it.
Until Dwayne.
And Al Jezari does not leave witnesses.
From a hospital bed in Jakarta to the back alleys of Sandakan, from a stolen freighter slipping through the Singapore Straits to the lawless coves between Borneo and the Philippines, Dwayne is pulled into a chase he was never trained for, by people he can't tell apart, in a part of the world where every alliance has a price and every smile is hiding a knife.
Dwayne has an engineering degree, a sarcastic mouth, and an unexpected talent for not dying.
He's going to need all three.
What kind of thriller is this?The kind where the body count is real, the stakes are global, and the hero spends Chapter 1 pinned under a toilet wondering how a meeting about mushroom infestations got him drone-struck. ELUSIVE is what happens when you take Clive Cussler's globe-trotting, Daniel Silva's tradecraft, and Carl Hiaasen's wicked sense of humor — and set the whole thing in waters most thrillers never visit.
It is the international thriller you've been waiting for someone to write.
- 42 short chapters — read it in a weekend
- A standalone story — no cliffhanger, no series commitment
- Five countries. One face Al Jezari can't allow to keep breathing.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
