Pompeii's Ghosts (A James Acton Thriller, #9) - Plot & Excerpts
Robert Kennedy Outside Hamashkoraib, Sudan Gunfire in the distance had Dawson pausing outside of the van. He slowly turned, his trained ear trying to determine the direction. He stopped then raised his phone, zooming in, slowly scanning the landscape toward the airport. The abandoned station was out of sight, so if the firefight was at the airport, he wouldn’t be able to see it. He saw some puffs of dust in the distance, but could make out little, the display simply too small. Suddenly he saw two figures crest a rise then disappear again. He steadied the phone on the hood of the van and took a rapid series of shots as the two figures popped into view again. He zoomed in on the shots and saw two men in desert gear, civilian camo pattern, not military, hoofing it hard. And if he didn’t know any better, the man on the right was Red, the shaved dome obvious. But he couldn’t be sure, and he couldn’t wait. Going to pick them up then returning here would take too long, and he needed to see where the hostages were going to be moved.
