Jake Adams

Jake Adams is a man on the run. The former CIA officer has survived one assassination attempt already, but just barely. His girlfriend wasn’t so lucky. And now someone else has tried. Jake has no choice but to go underground until he can discover who wants him dead and why. But Jake made many enemies during his career, and few friends. With a member of the Austrian polizei and a German intelligence officer as his only allies, Jake sets out across Europe, fighting to stay one step ahead of the assassins who dog his every move.

Jake Adams finds himself in a Tunisian prison, being held for murdering an international terrorist who happens to be well connected in that country. When a mysterious man suddenly shows up to offer him a get-out-of-jail-free card, Jake is a bit suspicious. But what choice does he have? To secure his release all he has to do is one favor for a wealthy Texas senator - find his sister who is missing somewhere in Europe. No problem. When Jake picks up a tail almost immediately after leaving Tunisia, he quickly discovers that this case might not be as easy as it seems.

Jake Adams has seemingly retired and gone fly fishing in Patagonia. But his quiet retreat is interrupted when the Agency sends a man to retrieve him to testify before a congressional committee. His testimony quickly becomes an internet sensation - not a good thing for an autonomous operative. Meanwhile, a college professor is murdered in Oregon and his colleague is nearly killed, sending him running for his life.

When the former Deputy Director of the CIA, Bill Remington, takes off after charges of selling secrets to the Chinese, Jake Adams is hired off the books to find the rogue Agency officer. But with many friends in the Agency, and money siphoned to numerous off-shore accounts, this will not be an easy task. In fact, Remington has managed to hide for nearly a month without the Agency, Interpol, or any foreign agencies discovering his location. Jake finds himself in Taiwan, where he is attacked almost immediately and set up as a murderer.

Jake Adams is living the good life on the Italian coast, when he is summoned by an old friend to help with an international crisis. A group of terrorists has kidnapped a number of Christian relief workers, and they have disappeared somewhere off the coast of Morocco. Reluctantly, Jake takes on the case. So now Jake must assemble a team of people he can trust from his past to find and free these captured medical professionals.  

Jake Adams is called back to the CIA to secure the rescue of an operative kidnapped in the Baltics and who is missing across the border in Russia. As soon as he gets to Estonia, he quickly realizes the Russians are up to their old Cold War tricks. The Kremlin has sent tanks through Belarus and continues to fly warplanes into sovereign territory, while cruising warships off the coast of the Baltic nations.

The world has increasingly become a volatile hotbed of terrorism. Europe is ground zero. And Italy is the next target. But Italy has also been the home of Jake Adams for the past few years. When Jake is asked by his billionaire Spanish benefactor to investigate a situation, he has no idea he will be joining forces with a Malavita captain from Calabria. With a new baby daughter, Jake is a bit hesitant to get back in the game. Yet, his girlfriend Alexandra urges him to act, as long as she can help. 

Jake Adams, morose and distraught, has isolated himself on the frigid island of Iceland during the heart of the Aurora Borealis. Again, he considers retiring and drifting into an alcoholic coma. But then he is summoned back to work for Spanish billionaire and benefactor, Carlos Gomez. Jake doesn't hesitate to help. Young women are disappearing in South America, and Jake now understands how that would impact him if his daughter had been taken. With the help of his old friends, Jake heads to Argentina to take up the search.  

Jake Adams is pulled back into the shadow game in central Europe, where a young Austrian Polizei woman has gone missing. Jake saved Anika Senka when she was a young girl, a refugee from the Balkan Wars of the '90s. Now, a murder in Innsbruck, Austria, and the disappearance of his young friend draws Jake into a case of international intrigue. He barely gets to Austria when the shooting begins, and Jake quickly realizes this is not a simple missing persons case. 

Jake Adams is living on Pico Island in the Azores with his girlfriend Sirena, the former Israeli CIA officer. When he is called back to work with Spanish billionaire Carlos Gomez, Jake is not completely on board with the mission. Something isn't adding up with his job to track down a hacker last known to be in the autonomous Basque Country of Spain. Jake and Sirena quickly discover that they are not alone in search of this hacker who has been on the run for more than a decade. Nearly every police and intel agency in the world wants this hacker.

China has a plan for the next 100 years, and they’re making moves around the world for complete domination politically and economically. When this situation suddenly becomes clear to Jake Adams in a very personal way, he and Sirena are forced to depart their sedate life on Pico Island in the Azores. Jake quickly discovers that his life could change forever, or suddenly end, if he allows the Chinese to seek total hegemony. He must gather his strength for a life-or-death battle to counter evil forces.  

Jake and Sirena are currently hiding out in Kotor, Montenegro, when their billionaire benefactor hires them to look into corruption surrounding this normally sedate seaside country on the Adriatic. Car bombings and gang shootings have become commonplace and extremely disturbing for the government of Montenegro. For some reason, the Montenegrin police and intelligence community can’t seem to get a handle on the violence.

Jake Adams finds himself on his isolated Montana ranch enjoying early summer, when he gets a call and finds out an old friend has died in a tragic accident. This death brings back old memories for Jake, but the circumstances of the death seem unbelievable. So, together with Sirena, he takes the corporate jet to investigate.
