Sweepers

Written by P. T. Deutermann

Narrated by Dick Hill

1969: a Navy SEAL, a trained assassin on a confidential mission, is dropped off in the Vietnam jungle. Days later, a U.S. gunboat returns to pick him up, but the boat's young captain panics under fire and leaves the SEAL behind.

Twenty years later, that young captain is now a Pentagon admiral as the SEAL returns to Washington, D.C. with his own career change: he's become a sweeper—a clandestine cleaner of secret messes. And he's come back to claim "some things of value"—things the admiral can't afford to lose.

Navy Commander Karen Lawrence—sharp, smart, and savvy—is assigned to investigate the bad things that start happening to the admiral. She finds herself caught between one man's boundless ambition and another's relentless quest for revenge.

Reviews for Sweepers

[deaconbernie · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another bell-ringer from Mr. Deutermann. Repeating a partial quote from the cover: "He keeps getting better." The title is ugly and I would prefer not knowing if is actual or something the author dreamed up for this story. The weakest character in this story is the principle character though he is in the story mostly by name. The two investigators each make stupid moves that seem out of character but all works out. Deutermann is going to have to write faster as I'm running through all the library has very quickly.
