Max Barrett is an operator with America's most top covert Special Operations unit, Black Wolf. Driven hard by events from his past, Barrett's new assignment is to lead a team that will secretly protect Sara, the President's only daughter, during a U.N. humanitarian trip to Nigeria. Problem is, the Secret Service does not want him anywhere near the First Daughter. Their infighting stops when she is kidnapped during a deadly ambush. Worse yet, her true identity was kept hidden on this trip. That tells Barrett one very bad thing: an insider has to be involved. Alone and cut off from his normal resources, Barrett is forced to use all of his skills, experience, and contacts-including a few shady characters from way outside the intelligence community-in a race against time to save Sara's life. The kidnappers' trail leads Barrett on a worldwide hunt, through a labyrinth of clues that reveals a chilling truth: the kidnapping was only a small part of a much more devious plan. A plan with the ultimate goal of destabilizing the world. Shadow Hunt is the first in the Max Barrett Thriller series-a high-speed, smart new spy series straight from the mind of a man who knows what 21st century espionage is really all about.
