Powder Burn

It is almost two years since Lacklan walker, veteran Captain with the
British SAS, helped Carmen Vazquez escape from the clutches of the
Sinaloa Cartel in Arizona. He never expected to hear from her again, and
he certainly never expected to hear from her brother. So when Lacklan
receives a text message claiming to be from Charlie Vazquez, saying that
he is in New York, that his life is in danger and that he needs help,
Lacklan is intrigued, to say the least.
But when Lacklan gets to
New York, the mystery only deepens - and the more he investigates, the
deeper it gets. Charlie has vanished without a trace, and so have his
closest friends: Zack the mathematical genius whose brain works with the
speed of a computer, Bran whose memory is beyond photographic, and Hans
and Hattie, whose powers of empathy and analysis seem almost
supernatural.
Who are they? Where have they gone? And what have they done with Charlie Vazquez…?
And
then again, who is Dr Olga Lucia Salcedo - The extraordinarily
beautiful lecturer at Columbia university, whose relationship with
Charlie seems to have been more than just mere mentoring…?
