Just Kill the Hostages

FBI agents Annie Caden and John McNeil are thrust into life-and-death challenges when they concoct a plan to hunt for Americans held hostage in war-torn Iraq. John is reassigned from Baghdad to a British base in Basra and embedded with US Army Green Berets. Annie has the unenviable mission of fighting the real battle-keeping the project alive.

Donovan, a National Security Agency (NSA) Analyst becomes an integral part of the team searching for the hostages. British intelligence and back-channel meetings along with frequent rocket attacks add to the complicated navigation and intrigue of wartime hostage events.

The American hostages are held in the most abysmal conditions and their chances of rescue are dwindling along with their weight and health.

Just Kill the Hostages is a fictionalized account of a world known only to insiders with raised-level government clearance. The characters are inspired by real-world operators in dangerous environments; unpolished realities of how government work gets done in a war zone form a story you will not soon forget.
