AND STUFF

Ex-FBI agent Jack Fields and his stunning femme ex-Special Ops partner Amber Reyes, hired to do a security review of a firm that stores gold for the wealthy, fight to thwart an elaborate theft/fraud plan.

Following her tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, as an unofficial Ranger, Amber Reyes is discharged and moves to California. Amber maintains her need for excitement by racing her Ducati motorcycle between cars along the freeways of Southern California. She meets Jack Fields, a seemingly pleasant but older, ex-FBI agent, and together they form 3-D Security.

After four years of intermittent small security jobs, Jack and Amber get their big chance. A London insurance representative contacts them to perform a complete security review at the Isili Corporation gold depository, known by some as the Ft. Knox of the west. The simple job will provide needed cash flow and could just be the opportunity they need to take 3-D Security to the next level.

The simple job soon becomes anything but, as Jack and Amber race to put the clues together to thwart a huge theft and at the same time escape from a relentless criminal mob.
