Operation Black Lotus

By Marc Dennis Bruder

Los Angeles private detective Harry Panik is used to criminals, crooked cops, and clients with secrets. But when a routine investigation pulls him and his handpicked team into a covert operation involving the Black Lotus, the mission takes him far beyond the streets of L.A.

A brilliant but dangerous device, the Black Lotus is designed to slip inside North Korean communications and turn their own messages against them. To get it in place, Panik and his team must navigate a web of deception, shifting alliances, and lethal enemies from Los Angeles to Seoul and deep into Pyongyang.

What begins as a detective's case becomes a high-stakes mission where one mistake could cost countless lives-and ignite a much larger war. In a world of secrets and double crosses, Harry Panik will never be a household name. And that's exactly the way it has to stay.
