A video that his Taliban captors published shortly after Captain Kyle Mercer of the Army's elite Delta Force vanished from his station in Afghanistan garnered widespread attention worldwide. However, the situation remained unclear: Did Mercer flee before being apprehended? Subsequently, a second video that was sent to Mercer's Army leaders makes it very clear that the skilled killer and custodian of top-secret Army information has voluntarily vanished.
Top military brass assigns Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor of the Criminal Investigation Division to go to Venezuela and bring Mercer back to America—dead or alive—after Mercer is sighted in Caracas, Venezuela, a year later, by an old army pal. Because of the inexperience of his new partner and his suspicion that Maggie Taylor is working for the CIA, Brodie is aware that this is going to be a challenging assignment.
The Deserter, the first in a timely and exciting new series from an unbeatable team of True Masters—the #1 New York Times bestseller Nelson DeMille and his son, award-winning screenwriter Alex DeMille—has an appealing quality straight out of the headlines, an exotic and dangerous locale, and the hairpin twists and unique humour that are signature DeMille.
