YOUR COVER'S BEEN BLOWN, GARRIS KELLEY

AND WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!

You have heard of Garris Kelley, but you shouldn’t have.

The last thing a covert CIA operative wants is to become an overnight sensation. But once President Cahill exposed him on social media for killing an international drug cartel kingpin, this became Kelley’s new norm.

Coming to Senator Frank Beemer’s aid after a diabolical shooting on the MAX, Portland’s metro-transit train, Garris is now on everyone’s radar.

Left with an enigmatic clue from the MAX shooter, and with the vengeful cartel hot on his heels, it’s time to scratch a visit to the cowboy town of Traughber City off Garris’s bucket list.

Teaming up with FBI agent Gayle Wilson, in town searching for a missing colleague thought to be working inside an evil-intentioned militia, Garris willingly becomes a pawn in a billionaire winemaker’s game.

Wine and bullets. Another Try is a political thriller, intertwining hidden agendas and looming danger as Garris navigates a myriad of obstacles that entangle both a covert plot and political echelons.
