About the Book

Ghost Missile is a thrilling story of espionage, murder, and revenge set in contemporary times. Obtaining the plans for a stealth missile, named Ghost, being developed for the U.S. Air Force and the CIA, is the objective of American moles controlled by Russia on orders from Vladimir Putin, who needs the missile to achieve global domination. The lead mole is an employee of Century Aerospace, the company developing the missile. The mole fears she has been unmasked by her supervisor, the head of the company’s Washington Office. She arranges for a Russian assassin to terminate her boss while on vacation in Maine. This is where the book begins—with Nick Butler’s murder.
