false 721807 5 The #1 <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling series returns with a story as up-to-date as the headlines. <br/><br/> The novels of W. E. B. Griffin featuring Delta Force officer Charley Castillo and his band of troubleshooters have won wide praise for their realism, action, and "punchy prose that connects like a right hook" (Chicago Tribune). <br/><br/> Now, still in Argentina tying up loose ends from his investigation into the UN oil-for-food scandal, Castillo is startled when a young man is marched into his office at gunpoint, caught trying to sneak through the fence. It turns out he's an American officer, a lieutenant assigned to the embassy in Paraguay. A key agent for the DEA has disappeared while trying to interdict drugs and very little is being done about it, for phony diplomatic reasons. The lieutenant's heard of Castillo, knows what he's done, and wants his help in getting the agent back. More than that, he's got an innovative plan for dealing with the drug lords themselves. <br/><br/> Intrigued, Castillo gets permission to try it, but the President has just one warning for him: Don't get caught. Charley couldn't agree more-but it might turn out to be something easier said than done. . . . <br/><br/> Filled with Griffin's trademark rich characters and cutting-edge drama, this is an exceptional novel by "a writer of true virtuosity and talent" (<i>Fort Worth Star-Telegram</i>). 2896629 1 1 2008 The Shooters (The Presidential Agent #4) total:216|5:57|4:96|3:54|2:6|1:3| 216 846 297 26 3 0 false false Sat Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Feb 19 03:25:13 -0800 2009 Sat Oct 10 05:10:09 -0700 2009
