The Dark Heart of Dixie: Athenaeum, Inc: Book 4

By Dan Kemp

Athenaeum, Incorporated. Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, it's a very niche 'private military contractor' that provides intelligence services, if you have the money. The right ethics are also required... usually. This sometimes ticks off various governments. Other times it angers shady people with piles of drug money and lots of guns.

Through luck and preparation, Athenaeum, Incorporated won a vicious fight against a ruthless opponent, and now it's time to pick up the pieces. The Professor has new nightmares, and struggles with the rising cost of command as the company moves forward into the unknown.

Bodies are piling up from Atlanta to Dallas, and up into the Kentucky Bluegrass. Mexican cartels are expanding into the old Cornbread Mafia territories, making a night out in Nashville nearly fatal. Making it worse, a dead foe's bloodline comes out of the shadows, wanting the scales balanced for their own loss.

It's going to be a long and ugly journey into The Dark Heart of Dixie.
