The latest from masterful mystery writer Jon A. Jackson, Badger Games is an international cat-and-mouse game beginning in Kosovo and stretching to the mountains of Montana. Ex-freelance contractor to the Mob, Joe Service is now in the employ of the Lucani, a cadre of rogue government agents who have recently lost an operative known only as Franko. Franko, last seen in the path of a drug-smuggling ring through a Kosovar mountain village, was from Montana -- so Joe and his lover, Mafia princess Helen Sedlacek, head to Butte to see what they can learn. But they're not the only ones. A volatile mercenary nicknamed the Badger is also looking for Franko; and the Lucani have sent backup -- to help Joe or contain him, he's not sure -- in the form of a bombshell who rivals Lara Croft for sex appeal and dangerous moves. They are quickly caught up in a deadly game of hide-and-seek in the rough-hewn mountain landscape, culminating in a terrifying night in the tunnels of an abandoned mine. Badger Games is a taut, wicked thriller from a master of the genre.
