The Black Veil Protocol: A Daniel Rook Thriller

By: Lane, T. J.

THE BLACK VEIL PROTOCOL
A Daniel Rook Thriller
Sixteen years ago, Daniel Rook walked away from a mission that officially never happened.
Not everyone did.
Now forty four, the former SAS soldier has traded classified operations for a quieter life in Staffordshire, repairing outdoor equipment and trying to be a better father to his seventeen-year-old daughter, Emily.
Then a watch arrives.
It belonged to James Kane Rook's closest friend, a man he watched die during the disastrous operation known as Black Veil.
Hidden inside is an eleven second recording and a warning:
They found the weapon.
Within hours, Rook's ordinary life begins to collapse. His shop is attacked. His daughter is threatened. People who should be dead begin appearing again. And a secret buried by governments for more than three decades starts moving back into the light.
From Britain to abandoned facilities in Europe and the frozen reaches of the Arctic, Rook is drawn into a conspiracy involving Kestrel, a mysterious event from 1991, and Janus-a classified project capable of something far more dangerous than creating a new weapon.
Because Black Veil wasn't simply a failed mission.
And Daniel Rook may not have survived it in quite the way he remembers.
To protect his daughter, Rook must uncover what happened sixteen years ago before the people behind Janus finish what they started.
But some doors were never meant to be opened.
And some things that come back should have stayed dead.
The Black Veil Protocol is a fast-paced action and conspiracy thriller combining espionage, brutal close-quarters action, government secrets and a dark science-fiction mystery.
