A special forces soldier heads to Baghdad for a contract assignment—and winds up entangled in a million-dollar heist . . .

Mitchell Walker thought he'd hung up his guns for good. But when his daughter is hit by a life-threatening disease, he needs money, fast. The kind of money that only a private military operator in the most dangerous city in the world can make.

Walker is set to work for Paveway, a company run by his old special forces buddy, which handles outsourced military contracts for the Ministry of the Interior in Baghdad. But from the moment he touches down in the Middle East, it quickly becomes clear that it's going to be anything but easy.

The aptly nicknamed "Mad Mitch" soon finds himself mixed up in a million-dollar heist of US funding—and he has no choice but to see it through to the end, in a thriller that spans from the war-torn hellhole of Baghdad to the glittering towers of Dubai.

"A great read that takes you right into the heart of the action." —Tom Kasey, bestselling author of Trade Off
