Comstock’s friend disappeared after losing all his earnings in oil stock investments that went bad. However, as luck would have it, one of the oil stocks bounced back and is now worth $50,000! Comstock needs Train to find his long lost friend and give him his earnings.Train takes on the job with the intent of stealing the cash and splitting it with the no-good Rainier, but a snooping detective investigating a number of older crimes Train committed could ruin their best-laid plans.

The Traitor (Tommy Carmellini #2)

by Stephen Coonts

HE WAS THE PERFECT SPY. He was the man who could bring down Bin Laden, the man who could smash Al Queda. Surrounded by fanatics in the heart of the beast, he believed in himself beyond any shadow of a doubt, believed in what he knew to be right with a faith that could withstand all adversity. He lived by his wits and played the double game to the last drop of blood. Or did he? When he is assigned to Paris, CIA officer Tommy Carmellini finds himself working for his old boss, Jake Grafton, who is the new CIA operations officer in charge of Europe. Grafton has a mission: He believes that the director of the French intelligence service has a secret agent among the leaders of Al Queda, and the Americans want access to that intelligence. Yet the director denies any such mole exists. While trying to ferret out the truth, Grafton and Carmellini are quickly cast into a labyrinth of espionage, deception, and murder. The French intelligence director has secret investments in the Bank of Palestine, and a killer is on the loose. If that weren't enough, the leaders of the G-8 industrialized nations will soon meet in Paris, an event that would make a tempting terrorist target. Throw into the mix the very beautiful and clever daughter of the French ambassador to Washington, an Israeli spy or two, and the stage is set for a tour de force of deception and drama in the world's most beautiful city: graceful, ageless Paris. NOTE: The last paragraph on page 276 appears to be missing a few words, but that is the way the text is written in the book. It is the author's/editor's mistake, and not a problem with the scan.

When he not-quite-accidentally shoots his unit's political officer in the street, he's rescued by a squad of Ukrainian freedom fighters. They might have saved him, but Tolya doesn't trust them. He especially doesn't trust Solovey, the squad's war-scarred young leader, who has plenty of secrets of his own.Then a betrayal sends them both on the run. And in a city where loyalty comes second to self-preservation, a traitor can be an enemy or a savior—or sometimes both.This title has common core connections.
