Assassin's Strike
In a Syrian palace, the presidents of Russia and Iran undertake a clandestine meeting. No staff or advisors are permitted in the room. No records are kept. By necessity, however, there are two witnesses: the interpreters. The Russian, Ludmilla Kravchuk, returns to her hotel room burdened by what she has heard. When her Iranian counterpart is murdered before her eyes, Kravchuk fears she is next and goes into hiding in Syria.
The CIA gets word of the defection. Desperate to uncover the purpose of the meeting, they task their newest off-the-books operator―legendary assassin David Slaton―to undertake a daring rescue. Deep inside Syria’s war-torn borders, what Slaton finds is a plot that will tear the Middle East apart. And one that only he can stop.

Born in 1961, Larsen carved out a career as a fighter pilot during Operation Desert Storm, a federal law enforcement officer, and an airline captain, experiences that would later infuse his novels with technical authenticity and high-stakes realism. His firsthand knowledge of aviation, military operations, and covert procedures gives his suspense fiction a grounded intensity that few authors can match.
