45 Days Are Missing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480992719)

A serial killer is loose on society, protected by people at the highest levels of the American government. Three young men trained as spies of a foreign power have reached positions of power and influence, while the one man who knows about them languishes in a prison in Panama. An elite military unit vows revenge for a murdered commanding officer. A Russian Orthodox priest is called upon to enter into the murky world of counter espionage.

In 45 Days Are Missing, Jerry L. Melton introduces us to an unlikely group of misfits, police officers and mercenaries, who are forced to band together to fight a thirty-year war against forces dedicated to the destruction of the American Republic form within. This is a story of uncontrolled lust, abuse of power, and greed. It is also the story of brotherhood, loyalty, and honor as comrades in arms face betrayal and almost certain death.
