The Plotters: A Mike Benasque Thriller - Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781635297270)

The first in the Mike Benasque thriller novel series!

THE PLOTTERS: A whirlwind novel of chase and daring about a down-on-his-luck newspaperman who gets caught in the crossfire of a South American revolution.

• A high government official falls ill with a terrible and dreaded disease.
• An American citizen vanishes without a trace from a lonely railroad station.
• A parachutist drops through the silent night into the shelter of a dense forest.

Only the plotters know that these isolated happenings are all part of a master plan. A daring attempt to overthrow a cut-throat dictator who does not hesitate to maim or murder anyone who makes a try for freedom.

For Mike Benasque the terror began with the stroke of midnight. He is an American newspaperman bumming around Caracas, out of a job, out of money, and out of luck. One evening two gentlemen approach him and offer a great deal of money for his willingness to take a small part in their scheme. Despite being a newspaper man and always skeptical, Benasque finds himself agreeing to become the central vital figure in their plot without ever knowing their true endgame. A plot that ultimately turns out is both daring and desperate, and that could bring Benasque financial freedom but more likely sudden death.
