Kyle Mills (born 1966) is an American writer of thriller novels including Sphere of Influence which includes a character Mark Beamon, an FBI special agent.

In Sphere of Influence, he takes FBI agent Mark Beamon into unnervingly hazardous territory. Beamon has always been an unconventional FBI agent. Years of putting the truth ahead of expediency have resulted in a dead-end job. But a terrorist threat brings him back from the wilderness. A videotape proves that a terrorist cell in the United States has access to modern missile technology. Suspecting there is a connection between the Mob and the fanatics, Beamon is sent undercover with a fellow FBI agent. When the other agent is murdered, Beamon's attempts to trace the man responsible leads him into an criminal conspiracy that may have roots in the American government. Good. Slightly cocked. Cover has some wear and soiling.

Synopsis

Book by Mills Kyle

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mark Beamon has always been an unconventional FBI agent -- and years of putting truth ahead of protocol have him languishing in a dead-end job in the Bureau's Phoenix office. But before he can officially be put out to pasture, our nation's war against terrorism pulls him back to the front lines.

Videotapes arriving at television stations across the country bear a terrifying message: A terrorist cell inside the United States possesses a rocket launcher and will begin attacking civilian targets within days. As panic takes hold, the FBI calls on Beamon for one last assignment. Suspecting a connection between the Mob and these fanatics, he is sent undercover to meet a Mafia don who might have information concerning the terrorists.

That simple meeting goes horribly wrong when Beamon's partner is executed after his cover is blown. Barely escaping with his life, Beamon is determined to find the source of the leak and, more important, in one final act of self-destructive heroism, to exact revenge.

As he spirals into a world of government corruption, murder, and betrayal, Beamon comes to know the mysterious Christian Volkov -- a master criminal with seemingly limitless power. Soon it is clear that only through Volkov will Beamon be able to avenge his friend's death and unravel the conspiracy threatening his country.
