Publisher's Synopsis
EAST RIVER
Volume 1, The Chieftain Trilogy
"I witnessed September 11th, Bette. Right here. New York City. These kids I see every time I go running along the East River, they deserve to live long, glorious lives. And I didn't bleed in Afghanistan to see our people get killed by terrorists stateside." from EAST RIVER @2021, Mike Tucker
A young, beautiful and wicked-smart lady fluent in four languages, Bette Svensson, a native New Yorker who finds herself in one helluva' jam on Valentine's Day Weekend, 2021, and discovers just how real karma is near the East River in New York City; a brilliant young NYPD Counterterrorism Detective, Tommy Maguire, born and raised in Hell's Kitchen, a September 11th Generation veteran and former sniper; the Chieftain, the veteran counterterrorist and former Delta Force commando who leads a team of daring counterterrorists in Africa and around the world in 2021; Jean Claude Moulin, a savvy, tough French counterterrorist and the great-grandson of a legendary French Resistance fighter in WWII: This is EAST RIVER, a stunning counterterrorism thriller that takes head-on Trump, QAnon and the domestic terrorists who launched an insurrection on January 6th, 2021 against the US Capitol. From East Africa to New York City, EAST RIVER rocks like a hurricane, details the real-world threat of suicide-bomb container ships and throws down on Trump like no other book. "Love is always enough," as Mike Tucker writes in EAST RIVER, and it's the September 11th Generation that shines in EAST RIVER, the first volume in The Chieftain Trilogy, a book that could not be more moving, compelling, gritty and romantic.
