The Ghost. Onyx Tactical Files, #2

He can be anyone you want him to be. But tonight, the disguise might cost him his soul. Two years before the events of Shepherd's Watch, Jason "Shade" Adler is operating solo in Prague. His target: A Russian arms dealer holding a digital ledger of black-market nuclear triggers. His method: A high-stakes game of Baccarat, a tuxedo that costs more than a car, and a smile that can disarm a room. Jason is the master of the long con, but when a sharp-eyed female bodyguard recognizes a "tell" from one of his past lives, the heist turns into a dangerous psychological chess match.
To secure the package and escape with his life, Jason must spin a lie so convincing, so laced with vulnerability, that it betrays the only connection he makes all night. Enter the world of Onyx Tactical in this prequel short story showcasing the team's elite infiltrator.
