The Erie Incident

In this sequel to "Favor For a Favor," John Smith finds out first-hand what it means to work for Reflex Engineering.

Back at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, John receives his first assignment. Under the assumed identity of Jerrod Maloney, he has to find out who is manufacturing and selling Krokodil, a dangerous street drug, in a small town in northern Ohio. Sent in alone, with no formal training, he has to rely on his wit and instinct to complete his objective.

Meanwhile, his personal life has had a major development. For the first time since his mid-twenties, John has a serious girlfriend. London-born and New Zealand-raised, university professor Nicola St. Vincent is every bit as independent and bull-headed as John is. Their relationship is still new to both of them, adding to the challenge of holding it together while John is away.
