The Getaway
The Getaway | Tom Barber
8 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
New York City. Summer. A series of violent and highly successful bank robberies have been carried out across the city, all by the same five-man team. Millions of dollars have been stolen. The thieves are slick, efficient, well-organised and vicious. The FBI are getting nowhere in tracking them down. With pressure from Washington mounting and the heists continuing, the Feds desperately search for any leads. They need results and they need them fast. Across the city, Sam Archer is in town for a funeral. At the service, he is approached by an old family friend who works out of the FBI's New York Office. He's leading the case against the thieves and has a proposition for Archer. He needs the English counter-terrorist cop to go undercover, and try to get inside their circle. Make contact and gain their trust. Find out the secrets of their success. Given his English accent and his cover story, it's a solid plan. They'll never connect him to the FBI. Nevertheless, Archer is ready to refuse, but his old acquaintance tells him something else, a shocking revelation that ties Archer to this case personally. It's all the convincing he needs. He agrees to the plan, and goes undercover. As he establishes contact with the crew and gets deeper and deeper, Archer learns they're planning to leave the city for good in just a matter of days, but only after performing two final spectacular heists. In a race against time, Archer is forced to think of his feet or be killed as he gets caught up in the lethal crossfire between the thieves and law enforcement, none of whom know who he really is. As the clock ticks towards the thieves' departure and as the stakes get higher and higher, Archer must both find a murderer and prevent two of the biggest heists in the history of New York City. Before the thieves make their final getaway.

Another day another series just for @TrishB and @Cinfhen Books 2-4 of the Sam Archer Series are available at a cost of 99p for a package of the 3 books. I read the first one, along with @EadieB who has also read it, and we both loved the book. I gave it five stars and a red heart! It was all focused around a team seeking to hunt down a team of terrorists planning a New Year‘s Eve Bomb. As it says above if you like Mitch Rapp check these out.

EadieB @Andrew65 Need to get back to this series. I have about 5 more books and I always see them on sale on amazon! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB I‘ve read book 2 since and own books 3 - 6. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 They are making audios of the books too. 5y

Thanks @LazyDays for doing this fun #LitsyLove19 giveaway!
I've always felt like reading could really take me places and open my mind to experiences of the world that I may not have otherwise had. I come from a small town in Arkansas so diversity and opportunity are scarce. Reading can really be transformative!

LazyDays Thanks for entering and good luck!💜 5y

Book 8 of the excellent Sam Archer series is available for free on Amazon in the U.K. at the moment. Well worth checking elsewhere. The first 5 books are available free if you are a member of Kindle Unlimited. Doesn‘t seem to currently exist on the Litsy catalogue so is tagged with book 2. I loved book 1 and 2. Some excellent counter terrorism. Strongly recommend. I downloaded mine!

EadieB @Andrew65 Free In US too! 5y
