Romance, intrigue and action collide in Carl E. Ring Jr.'s latest entry in the Stick LeMaster series, "Who Killed Lottie Dee?" Street smart and savvy , he has a combat tour in the Corps under his belt, but even all that may not be enough this time as treason and terrorists make a deadly brew. Stick is asked by a former comrade in the USMC to identify the body of his once and maybe future lover, Lottie Dee . . . . except it isn't her. Sensing a trap and a setup, Stick falsely confirms her identity, retreats quickly to regroup and returns to his hotel, where he finds Lottie very much alive. Baretta in hand, she asks in an icily business manner, "Okay Stick you had your free look. You in or out?" Stick is shocked and shaken when he learns of Lottie's true identity: she is a highly placed secret agent, as was her recently murdered father, the much acclaimed industrialist and patriot, Hayward de Valera. Both were involved with Invictus, a privately funded agency that combats terrorism. Hayward had found four key players providing aid to terrorists, and they need Stick's PI skills to help them bag the quartet of conspirators--a task that will push him to the limit and place him in the sights of mercenaries who'd love to see another US Marine listed as KIA. In this military thriller, our combat-hardened, street-savvy PI throws in with a secret organization and its beautiful operative. But can he stop a terrorist attack before it starts?
