Episode 83: Whack-A-Mole - Nothing To Fear (Final Hour #2) by Juno Rushdan

Why do bad things sometimes make us warm? And we’re not talking about some slicked back James Dean or the guy in Misfits PPE. We’re talking about straight up military industrial complex, black site torture, for-profit CIA hijinx, the full front and back nine of bad feeling. Because that’s exactly the kind of bad this week’s book, Nothing To Fear by Juno Rushdan, manages to dress up for a night on the town. Our hero, Gideon Stone, is tasked with uncovering a mole in his deep state, Tom Clancy-esque, transcontinental murder-for-hire organization, Gray Box, before the whole operation is torn asunder. His chief suspect and our heroine, Willow Harper, is in his crosshairs for allegedly selling bio-agents on the black market, an act that’s surely grounds for termination. But as the real mole remains hidden in plain sight, Gideon will stop at nothing to keep Willow safe, even if it means dipping into his toolbox of grisly implements to extract the truth before it’s too late. Trigger warning: contains some descriptions of torture and the truth about for-profit military action in the name of unfettered capitalist growth.
