A look at what’s coming next from the writing desk of David La Piana
A Literary Thriller
A revitalized ISIS is once again waging war on everybody across the Middle East while staging terror attacks in Europe. CIA believes the group’s elusive Minister of War, Codenamed Cyclops, is planning strikes on US diplomats, but they’ve been unable to locate him. Until, perhaps, now.
Jim Marino is a NOC, a Non-Official-Cover case officer. Always a loner, as his ex accuses him, Work alone, live alone, die alone? But maybe that’s because he has never known who he really is. On her deathbed, Jim’s mother reveals that she rescued him as an infant when his Lebanese parents were killed by Hezbollah. From CIA, Jim learns he has a brother, Salim, a member of ISIS who is close to the Cyclops.
KRISIS (Kill the Ratfucks at ISIS) is a kill team led by Doc Robinson, a ruthless, eccentric assassin. Doc sends Jim to live deep cover in Lebanon, then leads Salim to “find” his long-lost baby brother. Salim brings Jim to Raqqa, the ISIS capital, where Jim grows close to the family he never knew existed. Despite this growing attachment, including an unlikely love, Jim must locate and rain hell down on the Cyclops before ISIS can launch a devastating attack on the US.
