Description

In May, 2010, Special Agent Morgan Huntley learns that a close colleague has been abducted while investigating the shocking murders of two soldiers within a NATO command facility in Kabul, Afghanistan. Within days, it becomes clear that his friend's investigation had uncovered a disturbing rumor: a group of retired U.S. Army personnel may have returned to Afghanistan to build a drug cartel, posing as defense contractors and utilizing the Army's own logistics network. With the clock ticking on both the case and his friend’s life, Morgan accepts an offer to volunteer for an undercover mission to Afghanistan, posing as a civilian contractor. Upon arrival, however, Morgan learns that the kidnapping is but one small piece of a wider and more dangerous puzzle. Worse, Morgan's civilian cover story is immediately endangered when a close friend of his ex-wife becomes a key asset in his investigation. Invisible Wounds is a riveting thriller that navigates a world of hidden agendas, brazen deceit, and costly choices. Simultaneously gripping and fast-paced it is also a meaningful consideration of the generational costs of a decade of global conflict.

Is US army man Morgan Huntley (our hero), the next Reacher? Inevitably, there are some comparisons but this did not distract me from a cracking good read. Action slipped easily from US to Afghanistan with plenty of good descriptions of the localities. One aspect of the story I really enjoyed was the fact that Morgan would try and make 'deals' rather than just shoot everybody!
A little bit more time exploring Morgan's past would have helped, but maybe this is being saved for another book? I hope so, as I believe this author has a lot of potential.

The hero is a detective assigned to investigate the deaths of two soldiers and the disappearance of the detective friend that was sent to investigate. He achieves success and survives due to some near miracles when he was meant to be disposed of. .The story has many themes that are intertwined. Treachery and treason in high places. .The fact that justice through normal means can be distorted by vested interests so that it has to achieved by other means. A discourse on Post Traumatic stress and how it can destroy peoples lives. Rather a mixed bag;
