It’s the most important mission of his life—because it’s the most personal.
Once a key player in a clandestine CIA squad, Sam Callahan thought he had finally found a safe, normal life as a rookie lawyer in DC with the woman he loves. But when called to a covert intelligence mission in the heart of Russia, he can’t refuse risking it all once more. This time, he’d be joining his estranged father, the Lion, a deep-cover agent Sam never even knew existed.
When the operation goes wrong and his team is ambushed, Sam fears a setup. At least he escaped with his life. And so did his father. But why? With a target on his back, he must hunt down the truth behind the betrayal in Moscow—and find the Lion again.
Now, crisscrossing Europe under the cover of shadow, Sam is about to come face-to-face with his past—and it’s never looked so dangerous.

I love his books!!! They are exciting, engaging, compelling & keep you on the edge of your seat! But the best part??? There are positive references to God, minimal foul language & no sex scenes! I’ve been searching for stories like these!!! This series was great & his other books are as well. Don’t miss out!

“Operation Black Heron”
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018

The CIA, FBI, Russian gazillionaire, the Gray Wolf 🐺, and the Lion 🦁, all come into play in this international political thriller that is amazingly hard-to-put-down! Sam Callahan is the star of the show, but he has been lying to his fiancée for a month or so, while he trains for a covert mission with the CIA. There is only one reason he is doing this; he needs to be close to the Lion!
Sam is a lawyer with lots of street smarts from an unfortunate childhood, and an “uncanny ability to remain calm in a highly stressful situation”. This thriller is very complex and easy to get the characters confused with each other. Maybe, take notes. 😀 From Washington D.C., to London, to Russia, and back, the action is high-speed and exciting. References and information from the previous books in the series are not necessary, I felt, as it didn’t add much to this storyline. So basically, this book stands alone well. Then again, these characters are so likable I’m thinking of reading the first 2 Sam Callahan books anyway. I learned 2 things. This author likes to assign animal names to characters, and this is an imaginative and entertaining read!

Hunt the Lion , a page turner
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024

Fast paced read, story was engaging with enough mystery and sudden turns to hold your attention and keep you reading to the end. There was no profanity or explicitly depraved scenes, which was a nice change. Would appeal to wide audience.
