Book Description:

Luke Lundy won’t kill for America ever again.

As the ex-assassin transitions to a government job behind a desk, he grows increasingly disillusioned by the errors in judgment made by the last five presidents. He works tirelessly to reverse the negative impact of American actions abroad, but his new bosses only see a paranoid former field operative no longer interested in protecting his country.

And yet, one newly-elected Congressman believes that Lundy should be the lead operative for a bare-bones mission to prevent an international incident in China. Given a plane ticket and complete operational independence, Lundy is tasked with a three-day-mission to locate Patrick Allred, an American teacher who disappeared in Beijing after run-ins with organized crime and secret police.

Using decades of his covert experience, Luke Lundy tracks his target through a web of human traffickers, designer drug dealers, and corrupt government officials. Saddled with a partner he doesn’t trust, leads that don’t make sense, and each new clue indicating a set-up, Lundy aims to locate the missing person while fighting his own old habits—like killing to stay alive.

    • Thanks, Joan! It was great fun revisiting my time in Beijing to come up with routes for the chase scenes, finding small details to satisfy the travel enthusiast just as much as the fan of dueling spies fighting to see who is more clever. Hope you get a chance to check it out!

    • A pleasure to meet you as well, Judi! Mae most definitely deserves another round of applause for this platform of author support. It’s so lovely to see how each author chooses to pay it forward. As someone relatively new to publishing, I’m finding this community of writers to be more welcoming, helpful and encouraging than I could have imagined.

    • Thanks, Jan! I’m so glad the title made an impression. It’s a fine balance between too simple and too over the top. At least I struggle with that…don’t know about everyone else. This book had three working titles before I landed on The Apologist. Best wishes – A.A.
