Under Cover — Chris Ryan

Some authors just write about it, but Chris Ryan has been there, done it, and lived to tell the tale. An edge-of-your-seat thriller from a British military special forces hero.

Frankie is a street kid -- sharp, quick, and usually up to no good. When he tries to steal from the wrong people, he is saved by a mysterious man called Dara who makes Frankie a compelling offer: an apartment and a sizeable weekly allowance. All he has to do is take lessons from Dara. Soon Frankie finds himself learning about surveillance techniques, how to make himself invisible in a crowd, and hand to hand combat. But what is this all for? Frankie has no idea until he's given his first mission and finds his whole world turned upside down.
