Nine Lives - Volume I — Nathan Birr

Private investigator Jackson Douglas has had his life rocked on numerous occasions, but none more so than when his brother showed up out of the blue, two years after he was supposedly killed in an explosion. Does his return mean Jackson's parents also survived? If so, where are they, and what have they been doing for the last two years? Jackson sets out to uncover the truth and make things right, and in his typical fashion, he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goal. His quest will take him places-both physical and psychological-that he never imagined, while introducing him to new allies and reacquainting him with old friends . . . and frenemies. From the Patagonia of South America to the ghettos of Mexico, and from the capitals of Europe to the ancient port cities along the Mediterranean-not to mention from coast to coast and across the heartland of the United States-Jackson chases answers. In the process, he finds himself up against a homegrown enemy far greater than any he's ever faced, one that threatens not only his life and the lives of his friends and family, but also his country and the values it holds most dear. The epic, three-volume conclusion to The Douglas Files is a pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching adventure that will keep you guessing to the very end.
