Imagine the United States has just elected its first female president. That would make her husband--what? Well, if he's the ex-cop who solved the murder of the president's first husband and brought the killers to justice...and if he's not the kind of guy to stand on formality...and if he doesn't want to be the head of the FBI...and if he takes out a license and becomes the first private eye to live in the White House... That would make him The President's Henchman. Jim McGill's first case is to find out who is stalking a member of the White House press corps, before that stalker turns the tables on McGill and maybe even threatens the president herself. He also has to be a shadow adviser to a young Air Force investigator who is looking into a he-said-she-said charge of adultery leveled against a female colonel working at the Pentagon, a case with the potential to derail the new president's administration before it has a chance to begin.

As he sifts through the wreckage of a destroyed C-130 aircraft in the Phillipine jungle, he finds a dead U.S. Special Forces paratrooper and begins to question the path that placed him on the periphery of the Global War on Terror.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Matt, his brother, U.S. Army Captain Zachary Garrett, is rapidly deployed with his infantry company to guard an ammunition stockpile in an old US Navy base near Manila. As the insurgency swarms across the island nation, the two brothers fight an elusive, but potent enemy while a powerful group in Washington D.C. called The Rolling Stones pursues their goal of keeping the country focused on the fight against Islamic extremism...at all costs. "Mick Jagger" and his band duel with the Washington DC beltway against others that are equally driven toward war in Iraq. As the Garrett brothers face mortal combat, the beltway histrionics continue, and take an unexpected lethal turn when one of the Rolling Stones decides to go solo.

Payne Harrison’s STORMING INTREPID was a New York Times Bestseller and a Cold War classic that helped define the techno-thriller genre.Now with EUROSTORM he weaves his narrative magic yet again – this time aboard the Eurostar bullet train as it races under the English Channel from London to Paris. Sealed within the vault of an “impregnable” security car is a substance so secret and so lethal that only a handful of “mandarins” within Her Majesty’s Government even know of its existence.Yet when the train exits the “Chunnel” and heads toward Paris, Scotland Yard learns too late that an evil force has literally risen from the grave to ensnare the train and hijack a cargo that could alter the world as we know it.As the cumbersome cross-Channel bureaucracies struggle to respond, the only hope that emerges to keep this horrific genie in the bottle is a small team of French commandos that takes to the air to board the Eurostar as it hurtles across the countryside at 186 m.p.h. -- with nothing less than the future of the planet in the balance.

Grim Reaper is a modern-day Dante’s Inferno, one of the greatest and most revered works of world literature, which describes Dante’s journey through Hell, depicted as nine circles of suffering. Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards God, with Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin. Amazingly, there are some bizarre parallels to our present-day “evils of society” and the time period in which Dante composed Inferno. Seven centuries ago, Europe was suffering through war, famine, the corruption of the Church, and the evils of the pogrom – murderous acts that brutally massacred tens of thousands of Jews. Shortly after Dante’s passing, the Black Plague would strike Europe and Asia – a near “End of Days” event that killed off half the world’s population while giving birth to a new legend depicted in paintings and dance: The Grim Reaper. The hero in GRIM REAPER: End of Days is Patrick Shepherd, an Iraqi war vet and tainted soul who returns home to find his wife and child gone and his country mired in economic collapse, two endless wars – and a very real covert biological program which could lead to global pandemic and our own self-destruction.
