"Kevin Hurley continues his march to the top tier of thriller writers with Le Tour Finale. This complex, international political thriller rekindles memories of Frederick Forsyth and Len Deighton at their level best with a hefty measure of Robert Ludlum mixed in for good measure and featuring one of the most unique backdrops ever in the genre. Le Tour Finale is a tour de force of riveting and roiling reading entertainment." Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of Strong Light of Day "An insightful view of Paris' No Go Zone's wrapped in a pulse pounding thriller. Michael Byars Lewis, retired USAF Special Operations Pilot and Award-winning author of SURLY BONDS Le Tour Finale is a taut yet intricate thriller set in France during the famous Tour de France bicycle race and its aftermath. The story juggles essentially two protagonists: John Rexford, a former marine and covert assassin, and Alex Pena, an American policeman turned bodyguard. The US government recruits Rexford, a conditioned cyclist and assassin, to join the Tour as part of a team whose successful mission will bring an end to the current French government plot to form a military and economic partnership with Russia and render the European Union and NATO obsolete. The task quickly changes when the mission is exposed. Now Rexford and Pena must escape a country that is under military lockdown, but first rescue what is left of their team from the notorious high security prison of La Sant . The future of the European Union and NATO hang in the balance as the two men weave their way through prisons, French police, and an underground French Resistance that is not what they seem. "Cut and Cover" documents Kevin Hurley as a master of the suspense thriller genre. Jack Mason, Midwest Book Review Praise for Kevin Hurley's Cut and Cover: "Hurley's prose style is tight and straightforward yet filled with colorful details that show his understanding of international intrigue." Barbara Ballinger, Hudson Valley Magazine "Terrorists attacks are clich in lesser hands but in Hurley's, they are every bit the equal of Nelson DeMille." The Providence Journal "A high-stakes espionage novel transcending genre, blending multilayered philosophical meditations on violence, machismo, 21st-century living, and the things we do for love into a rip-roaring, nutritious page-turner. Anne Pyburn Craig-Chronogram Magazine Double the trouble, twice the action, and quadruple the enjoyment, you gotta read this one"-Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 Internationally Bestselling Author of The Lincoln Myth and The Patriot Threat
