About this ebook
"In late October, America will be devastated by seeing thousands of Americans die, poisoned in the shadow of their false idols." Veteran CIA agent Valerie Vaughn hears this chilling warning and sets out to stop the attack. However, her plans are thrown for a loop when the CIA privatizes its operations forcing her to become a private contractor. Teamed with her rookie analyst, Echo, she undertakes her missions and discovers how much the rules of the game have changed. As late October inches closer she begins to wonder why she hasn't been assigned this particular mission. In her attempts to find out, Valerie discovers that the rules have changed far more than realized.
Mullany brings elements of mystery into the political thriller drama, bringing the reader along with Valkyrie as she explores the new world of 21st century espionage in America. With well over 75% off the CIA's budget being spent on external private companies, this series brings an authentic new perspective to the genre.

Joseph E. Mullany (b.1965-) Published works: In the Shadow of Idols Angel's Prey Joe brings his corporate experience as a Business Manager and Strategic Analyst to bear in the Valkyrie Series, (In the Shadow of Idols and Angel's Prey) where he examines the recent outsourcing of intelligence gathering from governments to private corporations. The consequences of privatization are as varied as they are surprising. In his debut thriller, veteran CIA agent Valerie Vaughn joins the private contracting world and embarks on a new series of missions, with a new set of rules. Events lead inexorably to the dramatic conclusion that has since proved to be sadly prescient. In Angel's Prey, the follow up novel to In the Shadow of Idols, things turn personal as a female assassin vows to avenge Valerie's killing of her assassin husband.Meanwhile, Valerie continues her struggle to come to grips with working for a private contractor rather than the United States. These books are masterpieces of logic and cause and effect, wrapped into compelling story lines that engage the reader. Blending elements of mystery and humor into the typical spy thriller format, while giving the characters a real depth, Mullany has created a compelling and memorable series.
