Once an NYPD detective, Rusty was a rising rock star in the
Organized Crimes Unit. Then, Mob members and corrupt cops lure
Rusty to Grant's Tomb and shoot him in the head. The detective in
Rusty dies. The meat puppet Rusty is all that remains, now a brain
damaged, paranoid, criminal, psychopath terrorizing the streets of
Newark, NJ. Years later, Alphonso "The Crepe hanger," one of the
hit men who lured Rusty to Grant's Tomb, reveals the old China Doll
case Rusty solved was an elaborate con, executed by the Mob in an
international drug smuggling conspiracy. Soon the State will
execute Steverino Downing, the man convicted, for a crime he didn't
commit. And shooting Rusty was the Mob's way of clearing up loose
ends. This news ignites something deep in Rusty's exploded brain.
He must find a way to free Downing. His obsession leads him to the
Freedom Science Foundation, a group run by the internationally
renowned Dr. Sad Prevell and Peter, a former SAS South African
commando. Both cut their teeth on such cases during African
Apartheid. Rusty's quest will take him from New York to the
shipyards of South Africa and Shanghai. Can Rusty nail the pieces
of his shattered mind back together? Can he beat the Mafia, corrupt
cops, a Chinese Triad and Somalia pirates in time to save Downing's
life, and still somehow redeem his own?
Johann Gunther, is a German immigrant, a West Point graduate,
ex-U.S. Army officer and former Oklahoma lawman. At the turn of the
20th Century, he runs a problem-solving agency in Ft. Worth, Texas
called Remedies, Inc. where if the fee is right, he works as a
private detective, a gun fighter, bodyguard and all-around
trouble-shooter for hire. He operates in a new world of changing
politics, inventive science and exploding technology. In 1906, when
U. S. Army Colonel Vito Latissimo and his unit disappear on an
discovery expedition in Afghanistan, President Theodore Roosevelt
suspects an international, criminal conspiracy. He asks his former
Rough Rider Lieutenant, Gunther to act as his free-lance agent and
accompany the follow-up British and American mission to locate this
officer. Along for the investigation are Latissimo's ill, angry and
deserted wife, her beautiful caretaker niece, an aged cavalry
company, geographic society's photographers, a reckless English
Commander, his British Lancers and a division of Indian Sepoy
soldiers. After the assassination of the U.S. contingent's leader,
Gunther reluctantly ends up in charge of the American unit. They
find Latissimo alive, well and scheming, and Gunther uncovers a
plot to assist Russia in the Great Game of disrupting Britain in
both India and Afghanistan, plus a traitor's mad scheme to become
king of the far Khyber Pass. Gunther outwits foreign spies and
revenges a murder on a cruise ship in the Straits of Gibraltar. He
battles savage tribes, escapes religious riots in Bombay, crushes
Jihadists and American cutthroats in the northwest frontier of
Afghanistan, and leads a climatic charge of a stone fort on the top
of the world. The classic, serial hero returns in the form of
Johann Gunther in this tale of wild, unpredictable, high action and
international adventure.
