Description
Dick Thornby is not Hollywood's idea of a spy.
He's not a supercool guy in a tuxedo or a crazed loner who does nothing but kill and drive fast. He's just a regular guy with some skills for a job that needs doing. He also has a wife, a teenaged kid, a mortgage, and all the mundane problems associated with life. His friends from the New Jersey subdivision where he lives all think he is a wastewater treatment consultant. But instead of dealing with the dirty job of processing sewage in third world countries, he is really on missions, some mundane and dirty, others of vital importance and even dirtier.
After taking personal revenge on the criminal behind both his son’s injuries and the continued disintegration of his marriage, Dick Thornby is teamed with Acacia (“Ace”) Zyreb, a young, female agent from the East European office of the Subsidiary, to deal with the mystery behind coordinated hacking of the braking systems of several car models.
Doing his best to maintain his vows to his wife, Dick struggles to deal with the inexperience and provocative attitude of Ace on her first non-European mission. Their somewhat combative investigation takes a left turn by uncovering a much more sinister threat to the world and to Dick's family. He's willing to risk his job, his partner, and his life to eliminate the threat, but the clock is ticking.
From the author of Net Impact, plus other fine thrillers, including Forced Conversion, GREENSWORD, and Frame Shop.

Advance Praise
Praise for Wet Work:
“Dick Thornby would be the first person to tell you he’s no James Bond. And that’s a relief, because he’s something even better in the world of slick, breathless thrillers with superhuman protagonists—Dick is a real person. Whether he’s bending the rules of the super-secret spy agency in an effort to hold his rocky marriage together or breaking in an assistant who’s just as acerbic and to the point as he is while on a mission to stop terrorists from causing a massive tidal wave to drown the eastern seaboard of the U.S., Dick is a fully-realized, living, breathing person with hopes, dreams, and fears, all of which he juggles while trying to save millions of lives. Don Bingle’s written a taut, gripping spy thriller, and with Agent Thornby at the center of it, you’re in for a wild ride.” Author and Award-Winning Editor, John Helfers
