Description
"An international tale with sturdy characters and a steady pace." -Kirkus Reviews
In Strokes of State, an attack on two suspected US spies in Pakistan roils international relations, and the implications are more wide-reaching than anyone imagines...
The past two decades have been spent meticulously crafting stolen Pakistani nuclear material into a tactical weapon. Shortly after the device is sent with an operative bound for America, a CIA informant becomes aware of the threat, but he and his handlers are killed before the nefarious plan can be exposed. The brash killing of the spies, who were working out of the U.S. embassy under official cover, ratchets up tensions between an already aggressive American president and an emboldened Pakistani government.
As sides begin to point fingers and hostilities rise, the militant group behind the decades old nuclear theft works to fan the flames from the background, hoping to pass off the impending use of their weapon as a state-sponsored attack. Meanwhile, a covert team of Americans, led by former Delta operator Clint Meyers, works the ground in Pakistan, trying to discover why their countrymen were killed and who was responsible. Military maneuvers, covert actions, and political intrigues ensue as American, Pakistani, and militant factions vie for their interests, whether it be nuclear destruction, the halt of perceived American encroachment, or finding the meaning behind the murder of two spies.
