The Sacrificial Wolf

By S. Richard Ehredt

1989, Washington, DC

The spotlight of the world is on the US capitol, watching as a beloved President dies and his young and charismatic VP takes the reins of power. Behind this glare of publicity and attention, in the darkest shadows, another scenario is unfolding. A scenario of lies. Of deceit. Of pure and unadulterated evil.

Agent David Callen is accustomed to those shadows. When he narrowly escapes an attempt on his life, the obscure event sparks a fuse that leads to an inevitable and explosive conclusion. It picks at a thread that threatens to unravel the very fabric of The United States of America and finds its origins in the darkest of places. In a world thought dead and assigned to the ash heap of history. In the Machiavellian ideology of Nazi Germany.

The Sacrificial Wolf is set in a time before drone strikes and B1 bombers did America's dirty work. A time when the terrorists were narco-terrorists, not religious fanatics, and when they were confronted in the world of shadows by men like David Callen. A spy, an assassin, a human time-bomb - driven by his fervent love of country and a very personal motive of revenge. It is a non-stop roller-coaster ride through the shadowy world of spies, terrorists, politicians, and the men who really hold the strings of power.

"Chapter OneAugust, 1989

David Callen wasn't sure what had awakened him. He lay still on his bed, probing the darkness around him with his senses, aware only of the fact that he was, indeed, instantly and totally awake. There was no sound, save for the low hum from the vent of the central air conditioning. His eyes, which he had forced to remain closed and motionless, gradually opened to a narrow slit. Without turning his head, he could see only a quarter of the hotel room, dimly lit by the glow of the city light that filtered through the thin curtains above the reading table. He lay on his left side and his right hand rested under the pillow on the butt of a Heckler and Koch P7 M8. He slowly readjusted that hand so his grip on the unique pistol would be perfect..."

From this opening in Washington, DC to the unrelenting drama in Kingston, Jamaica, Bogota, Columbia and Mexico City, the action never stops. And absolutely nothing is as it seems...but the blood.
