Nelson And Alex Demille

Listen to "Nelson and Alex Demille Release The Book The Deserter" on Spreaker. THE DESERTER is the first in a timely and thrilling new series from an unbeatable team of true masters. Loosely inspired by the Bowe Bergdahl case, THE DESERTER takes readers inside one of the most dangerous places in the world—only the second locale in Nelson’s twenty-one book career that was too dangerous for him to research in person!! And it introduces a brilliant cast of new characters whose intelligence, romantic tension, and biting humor showcase Nelson at his best and signal an exciting breakout talent in Alex. The Deserter is a blistering new thriller featuring a brilliant and unorthodox Army investigator, Scott Brodie, and his sharp but inexperienced new partner, Maggie Taylor, in their hunt for the Army's most notorious—and dangerous—deserter who is hiding out in Caracas, Venezuela. When Captain Kyle Mercer of the Army’s elite Delta Force disappeared from his post in Afghanistan, a video released by his Taliban captors made international headlines. But circumstances were murky: Did Mercer desert before he was captured? Then a second video sent to Mercer’s Army commanders leaves no doubt: the trained assassin and keeper of classified Army intelligence has willfully disappeared. When Mercer is spotted a year later in Caracas, Venezuela, by an old Army buddy, top military brass task Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor of the Criminal Investigation Division to fly to Venezuela and bring Mercer back to America—preferably alive. Brodie knows this is a difficult mission, made more difficult by his new partner’s inexperience, by their undeniable chemistry, and by Brodie’s suspicion that Maggie Taylor is reporting to the CIA.
