Red Cell: A Novel

From the Tom Clancy of a new generation, a debut thriller following two CIA outcasts who must race to stop a secret Chinese weapon that threatens to provoke a world war.
After her first assignment in Venezuela goes disastrously awry, rookie case officer Kyra Stryker is brought back to Langley to work in the Red Cell, the CIA’s out-of-the-box think tank. There she’s paired with Jonathan Burke, a straight-laced analyst who’s alienated his colleagues with his unorthodox methods and a knack for always being right, political consequences be damned.

When a raid on Chinese spies in Taiwan ends in a shootout, CIA Director Kathy Cooke turns to the Red Cell to figure out why China is ready to invade the island nation without any fear of reprisal from the U.S. Navy. Stryker and Burke’s only lead is the top CIA asset in China, codenamed Pioneer. But when Pioneer reports that Chinese security has him under surveillance, Stryker is offered a chance for redemption by extracting him before he’s arrested and executed.

Border Run: A Novel

New from the author of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize-nominated Bad Traffic, a fast-paced adventure novel about a group of backpackers who find themselves in serious trouble in the jungle of Southeast Asia.
On the Burmese border two naÏve backpackers, Will and Jake, follow a tour guide into the jungle, tantalized by the possibility of dalliances with the tribal women who live there. At an idyllic waterfall, they discover that nothing is as it seems; the girls they are frolicking with are paid, and they have been brought along to provide cover for their tour guide’s smuggling operation. When confronted by a customs official, Jake kills him with a crossbow. Trying to cover up the crime only leads to more trouble—lines are drawn and crossed, and best friends turn into mortal enemies, as the westerners struggle to deal with their unfolding nightmare.
