In the back of one of his books I just finished, “In Harm’s Way” there’s an excerpt from a new book, at the time 2010, titled “Foreign Exchange”. It’s supposed to be the first book in the series introducing the characters John Knox and Grace Chu. I’ve read others with those characters, but believe I’ve missed this one. It’s not listed on his website. Amazon shows nothing. Searching my library conglomerate also has nothing on this book. Does it even exist? Has anyone ever read or heard of it? I’m perplexed. Help. ---

Never mind, I found the answer. Apparently the title was changed between the time of the excerpt and the actual publication. It was seemingly released as “The Risk Agent” in 2012. ---

Glad we could help.
