The Mongoose

With the advent of climate change and the push for alternative energy, a powerful man has taken steps to slow the progress and ensure that oil will never be replaced. He is a man with seemingly unlimited resources, and he has hired a group of skilled technicians and mercenaries to infiltrate alternative energy research facilities to steal research material or, through intimidation and threats of violence to family members, stop the research altogether. And if necessary, kill anyone that stands in his way, even to the point of assassination of world leaders and placing his puppets in power to do his bidding. Through his spies in the NSA and CIA, this man has been informed of the existence of a letter, and if it sees the light of day, it will destroy everything that he has tirelessly worked for. Now, he must send his mercenaries to recover it and kill anyone who has knowledge of its existence to protect the woman he has placed in power in the highest reaches of the United States Government. In the final days of the Vietnam War, Peter Jensen, a young CIA data analyst, is murdered after witnessing the killing of a U.S. Senator who was investigating CIA corruption and drug trafficking. Just before his death, Jensen writes an encrypted letter detailing what he has seen. However, before he can deliver it, his killer-a beautiful, cunning, and manipulative woman, who will destroy anyone who stands in her way-arrives at his door, prompting Jensen to hide the letter.

Through a series of chance events, Jensen's letter ends up in the hands of Shawn Harris, a tough, hard-drinking womanizer and a MACV-SOG Green Beret. Harris knows the significance of what has fallen into his hands, and he suspects who the Jensen's killer may be, but the war has ended, and his number one priority is to find and kill his stepfather for the murder of his mother.

The letter will lie forgotten in Shawn's Army duffel bag for the next thirty years until a pivotal event shakes his former country: the assassination of the President of the United States. Now residing in Phuket, Thailand, Shawn is struck by a chilling realization-he recognizes the new President as Jensen's killer. Fueled by a fierce drive for justice, he sets out on a critical mission to decode the encrypted letter, determined to unveil the truth and bring Jensen's murderer to light.
