Seeking Closure
Jacob Brill spent his entire career in the murky and violent world of counterespionage. His missions were referred to in hushed tones as "black ops." They were sanctioned by the US government but publicly were vehemently disavowed.
That portion of his life has long been in his rear-view mirror. Unlike many of his former colleagues, Brill has successfully transitioned into being an almost ordinary citizen and loving grandfather. It is a life he had grown to love and with which he is quite comfortable.
Then fate and some very bad people step in and force him to return to his former self and the secret world he had left behind. They attacked him in the worst possible way, and those responsible would pay the price.
He soon learned of a plot far deeper than he had anticipated. The more he discovered, the more he realized that this would be his most difficult mission.
