Rising Aces: An Edwin Hoff Thriller

LEGENDARY ENTREPRENEUR AND GENIUS mathematician Edwin Hoff is presumed dead. But when American forces kill the head of a global terrorist group, the commando Edwin Hoff emerges from deep cover to stop the man trained to take over in 48 hours. When Edwin’s drones spot Ali Hamini, Edwin must strike and disappear, without being seen, in a world where someone is always watching. Is Ali’s sudden, brief appearance a hard clue? Or is it a trap? Once, Edwin had Ali in his grasp. But Edwin was preoccupied with the pleasures of his cover life. Under his nose, Ali financed a biological attack and escaped. Now Ali wants the role he has trained for all his life. Two people from his past cover lives know the secret that could take it all away: Ali’s former boss, Edwin Hoff, and Ali’s college love, Camille Henderson, now a CIA operative. In 48 hours, Ali must make sure they can never tell what he did. In 48 hours, Edwin must alert Camille and stop Ali once and for all. In 48 hours, one will end as the hunter and the other, as the prey. Chasing Ali across England, Greece, and France, Edwin uses his unique ability to transform ordinary people into heroes. And when he does, he risks the unthinkable. Author’s note: The character Edwin Hoff is inspired by a real person. The plot is fiction, but his unique talents were true.
