The Death Code (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781480988194)

Roman Hawk is an elite agent of the U.S. government. As a member of the CIA, he has had a long career putting a stop to the plots of evil men around the world. Now, though, he finds himself concerned with only one objective: Rina Kol, a beautiful Mossad agent who stole his heart years before. When Roman learns that his former love has disappeared in Iran while looking for her family, he sets out on a mission to find her - without the official backing of Uncle Sam.

What starts as a personal mission soon turns into an international conspiracy, and Roman finds himself pitted against a nefarious cadre of terrorists intent on attacking the United States. Will he piece together the clues and crack the code before it's too late?

About the Author

Richard Asner describes himself as having led a very fruitful life - and it would be impossible to argue with him. A veteran of the U.S. Marines, which he joined at 17, he went on to graduate from the Naval Academy and then spent eight years as a Naval aviator. Part of that time was spent teaching senior midshipmen at Northwestern University. After that, Asner retired from active duty and moved his focus to Abbott Laboratories, spending the next 27 years as an engineer and manager. During this time, he earned ten patents.
