The Right Hand, Haas - B

                                         Derek Haas co-wrote '3:10 to Yuma' and the tv show Chicago Fire.  He is the creator of a website, popcornfiction.com, which promotes genre short fiction.  I've read his 'Assassins Trilogy.' His books are short thrillers about men with extraordinary interpersonal combat skills.  In this story, his protagonist is an "off the books" CIA operative who takes on the Russian FSB, saves the gorgeous Marika from the FSB bad guys ( four or five times), prevents the assassination of the CIA head of EuroOps  and exposes a 20-year deep cover traitor at Langley. Phew! It's the type of book you enjoy when you need a brief break.
