Most listeners and fans of the McGowan Collection Series Novels found a large interest in Bruce McGowan’s adventures while he was a Special Agent of the FBI for twenty years, so we have created a novel based on that time.

It is November 1991. About the time the final nails were being driven into the coffin of the Soviet Union, from the remnants of its former Red Army leadership and defunct KGB came cold-blooded mobsters such as Andrei Guryev, a sadistic crime lord who set about terrorizing New York's Brighton Beach with his extortion and sex trafficking racket. One man, however, stood in his way...Bruce McGowan. You might know McGowan as America's quintessential counterterrorist operative but find out what he was like twenty-plus years before when he took on the ever-surging Russian Mafia as an FBI Special Agent.

Working undercover as a homeless vagrant outside of a Russian restaurant, a known Mafia operation base, Bruce is not only gathering evidence to bring down the malevolent mob boss and his organization but also end the senseless slaying of the homeless on the street who always seem to be getting in Guryev's way. Bruce, working in tandem with the lovely Russian-bred Misha Orlov, herself a Bureau plant inside Guryev's operation, becomes the pursued and number one on the crime boss' target list. Although Bruce can be composed, compassionate, and cool-headed, you will not believe he's the same man when you experience his ruthless side. He mostly plays by the rules but doesn’t make the mistake of going after his family or pressing his buttons. You may not live to see tomorrow.
