"Just how I like my thrillers." — San Francisco Book Review. An explosion in the heart of Paris launches an international investigation that propels Doyle O’Gara, a computer scientist at a technology supplier to the CIA, from the periphery of the new war into its moral nerve center and toward a disastrous miscalculation that transforms his life. As the suspense-filled investigation leaps from one surprising clue to the next, O’Gara hurtles toward a dilemma of conscience that defines him and the country he serves. "Missions" is the debut novel of international business lawyer Marc McGuire.
