This novella or e-short could be numbered: Alex Hawke 7.5. The new Alex Hawke novel coming in April will be the 8th installment in the Alex Hawke series.
In this story a vendetta against old CIA contacts makes the case personal when an old friend of Hawke's is found dead. The death was ruled an accident but when another old CIA contact dies, suspicions are raised and an investigation reveals a rogue operative running from a murder charge may have a big chip on his shoulder.
This book is really short, but there is a nice preview of the next novel which will have you wishing for more.
For those unfamiliar with this series, Alex Hawke is a M16 operative, a 21st century James Bond type character. These are adventure/thrillers that appeal to a wide audience.
Overall this one gets a B+. I'm looking forward to getting to know Alex Hawke a little better.
