Patriot Acts by Greg Rucka
Suspense fiction's most dangerous and unpredictable hero is back--with a vengeance. This time bodyguard-turned-fugitive Atticus Kodiak goes underground to protect the woman he loves and the country he may have to betray to defend.
It begins with a brutal ambush and the murder of a friend. Now Atticus is taking lessons from the world's premier assassin, a.k.a. Drama. If he's going to survive, he'll have to become exactly what they're accusing him of being: a stone-cold killer. From Eastern Europe to the Montana wilderness, Atticus and Drama will uncover evidence of a secret so explosive, it could shake the foundations of a nation . . . so shocking, their ruthless pursuers don't care how many bodies it takes to bury it forever.
Bob Gale is an Oscar-nominated Screenwriter-Producer-Director, best known as co-creator, co-writer and co-producer of Back to the Future and its sequels. Gale was born and raised in suburban St. Louis, Missouri, where he attended public high school. He then moved to Los Angeles to major in cinema at the University of Southern California. He has written or co-written over 30 screenplays. His other film credits include 1941, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Used Cars, and Interstate 60, which he also directed. His darker side is clearly seen in his 2013 novel Retribution High, as well as the 1992 movie Trespass, which he co-authored, and in his episode of Tales From The Crypt, House of Horror, which he wrote and directed. Gale has also written comic books, most notably issues of Spider-Man, Batman and Daredevil, thus proving to his father that he did not waste hours and hours reading comics in his youth. He lives in Southern California with his wife and their dog, and he still roots for the St. Louis Cardinals.
