My book talk<\/strong>: Now undercover at a prestigious Colorado boarding school, Jake is haunted by his first failure as a CIA operative when a candid photo of the 16 year old African American goes viral and the bad guys arrive, more than ready to kill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former foster kid Jake has a new identity as Pete for his senior year at Carlisle (double-crossed Ukrainian arms dealers are more than mean), keeping tabs on the kids of diplomats, high-ranking military, and super-scientists – plus his housemate Bunk who lived underground with his dad till last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No coincidence that armed hostiles invade Carlisle the morning after that photo hits social media or that the Ukranian hacker has attacked super-secret projects near Denver or that Jake is the only one who can save his classmates and national security!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone inside the school let the hostiles in – why?
\nMysterious packages arrived recently – for which international student?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bad guys say that “Prettyboy must die” but Jake is determined to keep everyone at Carlisle alive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
