Synopsis

A deadly web of deceit and intrigue lies hidden behind the collapse of Operation CleanSweep. It’s time for revenge. Matt Tremain’s back in the sequel, facing an even deadlier threat. The investigative blogger is the primary target of revenge. Instrumental in exposing the evil and moral corruption behind Operation CleanSweep — a diabolical plan created by billionaire Charles Claussen — Tremain now faces the man’s craving for vengeance. His plan collapsing and faced with arrest, Claussen staged his suicide, eluding capture. Consumed with rage, Claussen intends to settle the score personally, luring Matt into a deadly trap. Claussen, on the run for three years, is close to exhausting his resources. A shadowy group of four, the Brotherhood, secretly financed a major part of Operation CleanSweep. They want the reason his plan to rid Toronto of undesirables collapsed. Instead, Carling is in hiding. Angry, the Brotherhood calls in their IOU, sending a team of operatives to capture him. Can he pull off a second escape, this time from the Brotherhood? If they catch him, he knows their retribution will not be pretty. There’s a saying, “when you embark on a journey of revenge, first dig two graves. Claussen ignores that advice and doubles down on revenge, risking it all to target Matt and his friends. For Claussen, a clock is ticking a deadly chime as the final confrontation nears, perhaps one of those graves is waiting?

A friend in need . . .

Detective Wallace, no-middle-initial, Carling turned out to be that friend in need. When I started writing the Matt Tremain series, I knew he needed a character like Carling for support. I wanted the detective to be what might be called "old school," but he was more complicated than first glance. After all, he even knew how to use a smartphone. In spite of his initial reservations when he was asked to investigate Matt Tremain in book one, The Cleansweep Conspiracy, Carling came to respect the courage Matt had. Surly, crusty, whatever the description, Carling was a friend indeed.

Book Excerpt

The CleanSweep Counterstrike

Matt read the text again. "10-8.” The cop bar, he thought. Matt was twitchy and arrived early. He never felt welcome the 10-8. Matt knew he didn’t fit in. He wasn’t a cop, and the 10-8 didn’t hang a welcome sign on the door.

The bar wasn't crowded. Matt collected his thoughts. He flinched when the front door clattered open. Since the CleanSweep riots, Matt jumped at loud noises.

The large man storming through the doorway. Many angry cops failed to damage the door. Detective Wallace, no-middle-initial, Carling, head of Police Services counter-terrorism bureau, came close this time.
