Synopsis
Presidential Trail is a fast moving, action packed thriller following the exploits of two MI6 agents, Kane Rhodes and Brian Jones as they trail a deadly assassin and revenge-bent chemist from the U.K. to Pakistan and Dallas to Washington. Linking up with the CIA their original mission was to prevent the assassination of a Presidential candidate but soon developed into a race against time to stop, or at least minimise, the catastrophic effects of a major terrorist attack
Excerpt
Kane Rhodes quickly removed the telescopic sights before sheathing the AS50 back into the soft, brown leather case. The dull ache in his neck and back was the result of six hours surveillance, the last sixty minutes of which were spent scanning through the sights of the scope. He paused briefly to reflect on how relatively easy the mission had been and not what he would have expected from someone with Leidmeister's background.
“You wanna go take a look while I keep up the surveillance,” Zach drawled. “Give me a call on the radio when it’s a done deal.”
“Okay, then next stop a coffee shop."
“And I thought you Brits only drank tea?”
Kane gave Zach a brief, sarcastic smile as he opened the door and made his way to the staircase, but he could not shake off this feeling of doubt, something was missing, but what? He jogged down the remaining two flights of time worn, wooden stairs and out into the brilliant, warm June sunshine. As he walked towards the car, the covered AS50 butt tucked under his shoulder and the barrel cradled in the nook of his right arm, he scanned the old, paint flaked windows of the tenement building and pondered over the events of the last few days. There was something wrong, considering what he had learned about Leidmeister over this short period, he could not help feeling that this was too easy - and he was soon to be proved right.
