Synopsis
When the CIA can’t get the job done, its legendary director of operations turns to “Mac” MacMurphy, in this exciting sequel to Rustmann’s first best-selling novel, The Case Officer. Mac is the best. A proven talent in fighting fire with fire. Able to be as ruthless as any enemy, showing no mercy where none is due. The perfect man to pit against an out-of-control drug lord who has declared war on the U.S. Consulate in Northern Thailand. But do the ends justify the means? Is it worth the risk of collateral damage―and there will be some when Mac is involved―to bring down the unscrupulous drug king? These are the moral conundrums facing Mac and his team as they embark on a slippery slope upon which there is no turning back, and they prepare for the fight of their lives against a veritable army of heavily armed drug merchants in the steamy jungles of the Golden Triangle. And they really don’t bother Mac a bit. Unusual challenges require unorthodox responses. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a woman involved…

He served in nine countries abroad on five continents, and in two of these assignments he was the senior intelligence officer in-country (Chief of Station). In one mid-career assignment he was selected to teach intelligence tradecraft to newly hired junior officer trainees at 'The Farm," the CIA's off-site covert training facility. Upon retirement from the CIA Rustmann founded CTC International Group, Inc., a pioneer provider of worldwide business intelligence. CTC's main clients are U.S. Fortune 1000 corporations and law firms with international operations. CTC is staffed primarily with former CIA intelligence officers and employs vetted correspondents in most major cities in the US and throughout the world. Rustmann has written numerous articles on the subjects of business intelligence, terrorism, the CIA, and doing business abroad. These articles have appeared in the Baltimore Sun, Palm Beach Post, Sun Sentinel, Newsmax, Time and the Miami Herald, as well as academic journals including those of The International Executive, The US Army Command and General Staff College and others. He is a recognized expert in the field of intelligence and business intelligence and has appeared as a guest on CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC and a number of TV and radio broadcast stations worldwide and locally, and is in great demand as a speaker at public events.
