Trey's life has been one of protection and privation. Facing a hungry winter, he leaves his mountain home and family and goes looking for work in the human world. The "wolf school" seems like a good choice. He might not know much about the modern world, but if he can learn to work with a human, he'll earn a good living, never go hungry again, and help his family survive, too. It's just a job, and he doesn't understand why some shifters are so fussy about who they team up with. Finding the perfect partner is a no-brainer for Trey. He just needs someone he trusts and can work with — someone who isn't overly emotional. Trey easily finds the right partner — as long as his choice agrees to it. As long as no emotions get involved.

Splitting thick blond hairs with enormous energy, it introduced itself to Sven Olagssen and valiantly rushed out the other side of his head, exploding into thousands of unidentifiable little pieces – just as designed. Agent Stone calmly pulled his head back from his sniper scope. His senses were on full alert, now. Red-billed Blue Magpies were chirping to each other and showing off their bright colors, nearby an occasional Bulbul would interrupt them with an anxious tweedle and Osmanthus flowers filled the air with their intoxicatingly sweet scent. For some, death was a disturbing and haunting reality. For others, it was something never witnessed or spoken of. For Trey Stone, the death of his targets meant many others would live. He had no problem falling asleep that night to the humming engines of the CIA yacht … until a phone call spun his life around and drew him into a dark and very personal war. Hunting the Midnight Shark is a fast-paced International/CIA/Thriller genre novel introducing you to the effluvial and Machiavellian world of child trafficking.
