TRIPLE CROSS

Former U.S. Special Agent Mickey Hennessy faces the challenge of his career when the private resort for which he is security director is attacked by anti-globalists. Among the hostages are his teenage triplets. The terrorists begin killing off the leaders of capitalism in staged trials on the Internet, and hunting down the kids, who have made a break for it and are working against them. Lloyd James employs a low-key style that provides a steady bass line for this suspense novel. Against that, he builds the rising suspense. Between the calm manner of Hennessy and the deadly coldness of the terrorist leader, James fits in a cast of characters who are filled with fear and shock at what is happening to them.
