Jonnie McBride glared at the pathetic excuse for a man, naked and tied spread-eagle to stakes in the filthy pig pen. He'd sworn to avenge the murder of his younger brother Jack, and after three haunting years the time had finally arrived. The pigs had been starved for days and now the scent of food was driving them insane. McBride had agreed to carry out the covert operation for the secret element of the CIA because he knew it would probably be his last chance to expose the mole that he believed was entrenched deep within the organization. A mole that McBride determined was hiding in plain sight. When the leaders of the Philippines terrorist groups Abu Sayyaf and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front agree to meet on the secluded island of Siquijor to negotiate the joining together of their forces, they have no idea that an elite team of mercenaries are heading for the island with very specific orders. The Traitor Within is the second novel in the McBride series and certainly hits the mark with a bang. This faced paced action-packed no holes barred thriller entertains the reader from the first page as it draws them in with its unexpected twists and turns throughout the story's entire journey.
