The Ghost: Onyx Tactical Files #2

Here’s the second prequel short story, ‘The Ghost’, to my upcoming novel, ‘Shepherd’s Watch.’

A tuxedo, a lie, and a lethal game of chance.

Two years before the events of Shepherd’s Watch, Jason "Shade" Adler is on a solo mission in Prague. His target is a digital ledger held by a ruthless Russian arms dealer. His cover is a dissolute British playboy with money to burn.

The plan is simple: infiltrate the gala, charm the room, and make the swap.

But plans crumble when Jason locks eyes with the target's bodyguard—a woman who recognizes him from a con he pulled years ago. Trapped in a room of enemies, Jason must improvise a deception so intimate and convincing that it risks blurring the line between the spy and the man.
