| book description |

TWO MISFITS. ONE MISSION. ZERO BACK-UP. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? Skwerl and Cheese are down on their luck after being screwed over by the US military. Skwerl used to work for the CIAâ€™s elite paramilitary wing until he was unceremoniously fired after a raid went bad in Afghanistan. Big Cheese Aziz, a legendary Afghan pilot also formerly employed by the CIA, is stuck working the graveyard shift at the local gas station. Armed with a ton of unique and not obviously useful skills for peacetime living, both are recruited into a shadowy network of so-called â€˜sheepdogsâ€™ working jobs for an anonymous dispatcher. Their first mission? To repossess a luxury private jet stranded on a remote Ugandan airfield. Their fee: a cut of the jetâ€™s $5 million value. But nothing about the job adds up. Their contact vanishes. Their handlerâ€™s motives are suspect. And when the women in their lives get involved â€“ one pregnant wife and one dominatrix â€“ the stakes skyrocket overnight. From the jungles of Kampala to the glitz of Marseille, Sheepdogs is a sly, hilarious, action-packed thriller introducing an instantly iconic spy duo. Operating in the moral grey zone between predator and prey, this is a wild ride through the absurd underworld of war and intelligence. â€˜Skwerl, Cheese, Dickhead Mike, the White Russian â€“ these characters are totally addictive. I couldnâ€™t put Sheepdogs down. A thriller and comedy in one, itâ€™s a wild rideâ€™ HARLAN COBEN â€˜Sheepdogs is the best thriller Iâ€™ve read in a long, long time. With a perfect blend of action and humor, I was hooked from the first page and couldnâ€™t put it down until Iâ€™d finished . . . an absolute gem of a novelâ€™ KEVIN POWERS
