Tom Locke is on the run from Apollo Outcomes, a private military corporation run by the treacherous Brad Winters. While working undercover on the frontline of ISIS-infected Iraq, he is approached by a middleman looking to find a missing Saudi Prince.
What Locke doesn't know is that the young Prince may be carrying a secret agreement made with the Pakistanis in the 1960s, and that his father may be trying to topple the Saudi government. As he pushes deeper into enemy territory, Locke must figure out both the on-the-ground battle lines and the larger Deep State war he has stumbled into.
Who is the mysterious Saudi who hired Locke's team? Is the prince's disappearance personal or political? And all the time a duplicitous adversary much closer to home waits for his chance to strike…
A compulsive and explosive thriller, Deep Black is perfect for fans of Rob Sinclair, Daniel Silva and Tom Clancy.
