Synopsis

He is the master of information retrieval. A genius of finding out anything that anyone needs to know. All you have to do is call Josh Tower and have the loot in-hand and you will discover the answer to any question you may have. Once upon a time he was working for the Defense Intelligence Agency, the deadly arm of the government, but that was before he met Julie and his eyes were forced open. But a tragic accident has claimed lovely Julie’s life and the master hunter’s soul has once again been darkened. The question is, was Julie’s death the result of a simple air-taxi accident or was there a sinister ploy behind the loss of his love? His investigation is turning up far more than foul play. It is revealing a deadly plot originating with his former employer, the DIA. But there is another dark shadow pursing the master hunter. The hunt is on, but who is the feline in this fatal game of cat and mouse?
