The Zone
Tom Keeler is having a fine summer, being a regular civilian in Europe with no plans at all. Then an old friend from his CIA days walks in, and she isn't there for the diving.
The job sounds simple. Paris, small crew, half off the books. Watch Charlie Schmitt, founder of MirrorTrace: a machine that pieces together secrets nobody ever leaked. That used to be the NSA's trick. Now it runs on Schmitt's servers, and nobody can switch it off.
Except there's a lover the Agency has no file on. A man whose face comes back blank on every database on earth. And two paid thugs waiting on a dark Montmartre staircase, where Keeler's cover gives him exactly one move: take the beating like a civilian.
The lover's name is Charlotte Lau. Beautiful, brilliant, and living inside a life other people built for her. A zone with no visible walls.
Keeler was sent to find out what Schmitt is hiding. The better question is who built the zone around Charlotte Lau. And what they'll do to the man who gets her out.

Jack Lively
Jack Lively is the author of the Tom Keeler series of thriller novels.
Jack has worked as a fisherman, an ice cream truck driver, underwater cinematographer, gas station attendant, and outboard engine repairman. The other thing about Jack is that since he grew up without a TV, before the internet, he was always reading. And later on, Jack started writing. All through those long years working odd jobs and traveling around, Jack wrote. He’d write in bars and cafes, on boats and trains and even on long haul bus trips.
Eventually Jack finished a book and figured he might as well see if anyone wanted to read it.
