The Devil's Darning Needle
FBI undercover agent Frank Durazo has only a short time to thwart an attack by a squadron of killer drones on world leaders gathered at the President's gravesite. Stopping the terrorist is only part of the problem; his superiors are not convinced and Durazo is on his own.
To complicate matters even further, Durazo is still in love with the sister of his archenemy and where is Durazo's son, who is building top-secret micro-aerial vehicles for the U.S. military?
As Durazo uncovers the secrets of the terrorists, he finds roots so entangled with his own that they lead back to his childhood in Old San Juan.
In this powerfully intense book of high technology, revenge and love, Durazo is forced to re-examine the twists and the passions that take him to a hilltop over Arlington Cemetery, trying to get crosshairs on a tiny black dot 600 yards in the air.
Chapter 25 Excerpt, Location: The Caribbean National Rain Forest,
25 Miles Northeast of San Jaun, Puerto Rico.
Durazo left the trail and cautiously climbed toward the ridge. Lightning shattered the darkening sky, and the rain was back in full force. He removed the lens cover from the rifle scope, smacked the bottom of the ammo clip to make sure it was well seated, and pushed the firing lever to the red position. A burst of three rounds would fire with each trigger pull. Durazo took advantage of the tall foliage and moved parallel to the trail. The din of the storm covered the noise he was making, and allowed him to move quickly. Only a hundred yards to the top of the cliff, and so far – nothing. He took cover behind the trunk of a large tree and scoured the ridgeline as a bolt of lightning sizzled across the sky.
