The Listener — Craig Allen

Book 2 in the Devon McHenry adventures series It's not uncommon for people to believe there is a secret shadow government, but what happens when a skeptic discovers there might actually be one? Quite by accident, Devon is alerted to the possibility, and when his initial investigation seems to support the idea he is forced into dangers he hasn't seen since his days in Vietnam. As he learns more, the creature he's discovering strikes back, willing to kill again and again to protect their secrets. His work becomes a desperate dance where his associates are also placed in mortal danger, and some of them likely won't survive. Eventually it becomes a race, where every move becomes fraught with new dangers. The action takes Devon from Berlin, to Colorado, to Illinois, and then back to Berlin, dodging multiple attempts to end his life. Strap in, because this roller coaster doesn't pause or slow down for anything.
