    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Brent Beckley was a young, eager expat businessman who was moving fast. He was wearing a conservative dark blue suit with matching tie. Anyone looking at him would have thought he was just another young, eager expat businessman on his way to an important meeting.

    #2 When he turned himself in, the US embassy requested a copy of his passport. When he gave them the original, they confiscated it. Now he could travel freely for the next twenty-four hours.

    #3 When he got to the airport, he was quickly whisked through immigration and security, thanks to Foster, who knew everyone at the airport. When he sat down in a quiet corner of a dingy coffee shop, he couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if he suddenly changed his mind.

    #4 When the US government wanted to lock someone up, they simply passed a law to make whatever their target was doing illegal. Then they punched holes in his passport.
