"Delta Force Major Charley Castillo returns in the third crackling adventure in Griffin's #1 New York Times-bestselling series.
The first two novels in W. E. B. Griffin's exciting new Presidential Agent series, By Order of the President and The Hostage, iately raced up the bestseller lists-The Hostage debuting at #1. Told in ""punchy prose that connects like a right hook"" (Chicago Tribune), they were further proof that ""Griffin just keeps on getting better"" (Booklist).
The Hunters picks up right where The Hostage left off. Two brutal murders and millions of missing dollars in the growing UN/Iraq oil-for-food scandal have lead Castillo and his team to an estancia in Uruguay, where, to his shock, the man they are seeking is himself murdered right before their eyes. Who is responsible? Most likely, the people higher up in the money chain, those willing to risk anything to keep their secrets from being revealed. They've left just enough of a trail, though, for Castillo to pick up the scent, and, with carte blanche from the president, to follow it wherever it takes him, he ends up . . . well, not exactly where he expected . . .
Brimming with rich characters, strong action, and cutting-edge drama, this is Griffin writing at the height of his powers."
A top-secret team, composed of Secret Service, FBI, and CIA agents and led by Army officer Charley Castillo, embarks on a trail of unknown bad guys in Uruguay and Buenos Aires. They must seek the unknown enemy and protect a source while avoiding political maneuvering back home. It is a dialogue-heavy mission that requires--and receives--stellar narration. As Castillo commands his men into toughness and respect, Jay O. Sanders adroitly twists his voice into convincing accents. He becomes a crusty European man, a feared Russian mobster, South American diplomats, and assorted Americans, from a wet-behind-the ears Marine corporal to a by-the-book FBI agent. M.B.
