The Attitude Adjuster
Mayelana nale ebook
Times bestselling author of the classic espionage novel, The Brotherhood of the Rose . . .
He calls himself Cavanaugh. No first name, and
even “Cavanaugh” isn’t his actual last name. He’s a protector. His hatred of
bullies compelled him to enlist in Special Forces. Now as a civilian, he
operates Global Protective Services, the world’s finest security company. His
goal: to keep predators from their prey.
Following Cavanaugh’s missions in The Protector and The Naked Edge, Rambo-creator David Morrell presents three short
stories that explore the psychology of a warrior compelled to risk his life for
strangers. “Most people muddle through
their lives,” Cavanaugh tells a client. “All I can do is hope that if I keep
them from dying a while longer, maybe they’ll find a way to justify remaining
alive.”
In “Blue
Murder,” Cavanaugh matches wits with an assassin determined to kill a
bestselling female novelist. In “The Controller,” Cavanaugh and his wife,
Jamie, confront the dilemma of how to protect a billionaire who refuses to take
advice. In “The Attitude Adjuster,” they discover that the Internet can be as
dangerous an enemy as a stalker.
This
collection includes an introduction in which Morrell describes his training as
a protective agent.
