Book Description
A bungled plea deal and a missing FBI agent lead detective fiction's newest and most charming and intuitive sleuth, T. R. Softly, to confront the oddest of the forty-odd presidents of the United States in a tangled mystery about identity and trust. It starts in Manhattan: a federal plea deal goes off the rails when a mob boss inexplicably recants his testimony two days after voluntarily confessing his crimes in open court. Days later, in courts across the United States, other crime lords confess, then recant. Afraid that her office may have been ensnared into criminal behavior, assistant U.S. attorney Mallory Greenstock summons the intuitive and charming detective T. R. Softly, to find the instigator: an FBI agent now on the run. It's Softly's second missing-person case in as many days: his oldest friend, Dr. Khaki Blumenthrace, an eminent neuroscientist, has also disappeared. As Softly begins his search nothing suggests the two cases are related. But he soon learns otherwise, when the trail takes him to Washington, D.C., and ultimately into the Oval Office, where the oddest of the forty-odd US presidents has been laying plans to emasculate the U.S. government. Co-opted into partnering with a secret unit of the FBI, Softly struggles to understand how many games are being played and by whom. Is he master of his fate or has he been the unwitting agent of friends and foe? A thrilling ride from start to spine-tingling finish.

Your Friendly Author, Jack ____________________ Interview with the author, Jack Probyn Q - Can Jake Tanner be compared to any other crime thriller heroes out there? A - You know, I wouldn't say Jake Tanner is like any of the other crime thriller heroes currently out there. He's not like the Jack Reachers' or the Alex Cross' of these worlds. Sure, he has some similar characteristics, but Jake Tanner is very unique. Jake is a very heavily family-centered man. Anything and everything he does is done for them. But this does, in no way, mean that he is like Alex Cross who, readers familiar with James Patterson's star, will know is a lean, mean, fighting machine. Instead, Jake Tanner is simply an everyday man. The one you see on the train to and from work everyday. That's what makes Detective Jake Tanner different. Q - What makes the Detective Jake Tanner series special? A - A mix of things. I wanted something that would "Wow!" readers, something that is going to make them think, "What if that ever happened to me?" And so I mirrored the Jake Tanner series on something I would like to read myself. The Jake Tanner terror thriller series has a bit of everything. But all of them feature the big question: "What if…" And, once you've read them, you'll never feel the same way about certain things again.

NOW A MAX ORIGINAL SERIES. A riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organized crime from an American investigative journalist who "pulls the curtain back on ... [an] element of Japanese society that few Westerners ever see" (San Francisco Examiner). Jake Adelstein is the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and of course, the yakuza. But when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice he delivers an unprecedented look at Japanese culture and searing memoir about his rise from cub reporter to seasoned journalist with a price on his head.

Lincoln Bowe, a Republican, has been missing for several days, setting off alarms on both sides of the political aisle. Finally, he is discovered in the remote Virginia woods, barb-wired to a tree, burned almost beyond recognition and missing his head. Democratic ‘research assistant’ (read: fixer) Jacob Winter, ex-Army Intelligence, wounded in Afghanistan, is called in by the Democratic president to unravel an extremely messy situation and shield his office from any hint of scandal. As this runaway train picks up speed, innocents are murdered, and the guilty come to Jesus… "…Sandford is a master at creating believable, indelible characters like Winter…[He] is peerless when it comes to economical, taut plotting, most notably at building tension. Dead Watch is anything but politics as usual.”—San Antonio Express-News
