"Inside the Warzone: A Thrilling Journey with Author Gary Edgington
Join the Bookaholic podcast as we talk to Gary Edgington author of Outside The Wire.
Here’s a breakdown of the book. A retired LA counterterrorism cop and a fearless Army doctor risk everything, including their burgeoning romance, as they battle clandestine Iranian operatives bent on the slaughter of thousands of innocents and ultimately the destruction of America. After a yearlong lull, local Iraqi insurgents launch a deadly mortar barrage at
the sprawling Camp Victory Base in Baghdad, Iraq. Rick Sutherland, a retired LAPD
lieutenant working as an embedded counterterrorism advisor, is wounded in the attack,
and a local interpreter is killed. Along with Major Nancy Weaver, his former doctor and
now partner, Rick embarks on an off-the-books investigation that quickly morphs into a
race to stop murderous Iranian operatives from exploding multiple dirty bombs during a
critical meeting of US and foreign heads of state. Working together, Nancy and Rick make a formidable team—but will it be enough?
