Move Over
Trenton Russell was a CIA analyst with almost magical abilities to solve problems on the world stage, until one fateful night, a mission goes south and a woman he loved is killed. He quits the company in disgust, his every waking moment filled with the pain of too much conscience. Now guilt-ridden and hollow, he fights to rebuild a life of self-respect and purpose and chooses to be an investigative journalist, exposing lies, not being a part of them. But for some people, the cold winds of life never leave them alone. His only rudder in a chaotic world is his intense loyalty to friends, for he values the bonds he's made more than life itself, and will do anything to protect his friends. He plays high-stakes blackjack to soothe his salvage psyche and discovers a unique gift. Sometimes he sees visions in the flashing cards. Instinctual insights into mysteries he's working on, but more often than not, the stakes are not money, but human lives.

Desperate for answers, he enlists the aid of Trenton Russell to help find the truth, and the trail leads through a labyrinth of bodies and betrayal so twisted, even his CIA training can't follow.
