Rope on Fire: A John Crane Adventure (John Crane Series Book 1)

One elite covert agent with no agency. One young billionaire with some serious James Bond fantasies. Together, they’re an unlikely team out to save the world—in style.

As the government shutters the top secret Hurricane Group, agent John Crane finds himself out of a job, with some very unusual skills and a classified resume. But if the government doesn’t want Crane’s talents, Silicon Valley prodigy Josh Sulenski does. Someone’s going to a lot of trouble to sabotage a harmless biological survey Josh supports, and he wants to know who and why.

Crane tracks the answers from the beaches of Puerto Rico to the back alleys of Eastern Europe, and into a whole new world. It’s a world of wealth, intrigue, and vicious power struggles where governments just don’t matter. Working alone without official cover, Crane makes up new rules on the fly, relying on his wits and generous application of Josh’s money. But fast cars and flashy clothes only go so far. Caught in a crossfire between underworld factions, with innocent lives at stake, Crane is drawn into a battle to the death where all his skills, and all Josh’s money, may not be enough to save him.

This edition of Rope on Fire includes the bonus John Crane short story I Hate to Die.
