Dead Sparrow

Jack is a man with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. He is faced with the ultimate conflict between morality and doing what is necessary to protect his family.

When Jack Walls, an international tax accountant, unwittingly steps into a violent conflict between China's secret criminal organization the 'Council' and Japan's notorious Yakuza, he becomes a pawn in their violent battle over illegal drug trade in the United States. Embroiled too deeply to escape the reach of these international criminal syndicates and being hunted by the FBI for a murder he didn't commit, Jack is engaged in a life and death struggle. San Francisco becomes the bloody battlefield where Jack must contemplate doing the unthinkable while relying on the training he received years earlier in the Special Forces to survive. Staying ahead of his enemies and law enforcement will not be enough. Fighting back against his enemies to save his family will require that he tear away the part of himself that is civilized and good. With vicious enemies on all sides and law enforcement closing in, Jack will face difficult decisions regarding who he is as a person and abandoning the life he loved forever.

Dead Sparrow is a fast-moving, thriller set against a backdrop of international intrigue and deception. It contemplates who we are as people, what are our core values, and what boundaries are we willing to reassess to save those we love.
