The Puller Monk Novels

Quantico Rules and Sleeper

Written by an ex-FBI agent: Two breakneck thrillers “full of the kind of fascinating nuggets that can only be mined from actual experience” (Chicago Tribune).

FBI Agent Puller Monk has never been one to do what he’s told. If he did, he wouldn’t be nearly as effective. Author Gene Riehl draws on his two-decade career as an undercover agent and counterintelligence expert to craft authentic tales of adventure and intrigue that pit his flawed hero against the forces of evil.
 
“To his insider knowledge, [Riehl] adds the talent of a first-rate storyteller who keeps the action moving.” —San Diego Union-Tribune
 
Quantico Rules: Monk and his Special Inquiries (SPIN) squad figure their latest assignment—a background check on the first African American Supreme Court nominee—will be a routine investigation. But soon Monk has a dead body on his hands, and he and Special Agent Lisa Sands are plunged into a maelstrom of deceit, corruption, and murder that reaches the highest levels of government.
 
“A must-read, a suspense-packed cautionary tale of corruption told by an ex-FBI agent who isn’t afraid to show us the ugly stuff.” —Harlan Coben
 
Sleeper: Monk is called in by the NSA to track down a Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece stolen from a private collector. But the culprit is no ordinary thief; she’s a sleeper terrorist—an American abducted as an infant by North Korean operatives and trained in the deadliest of arts. Working deep undercover, Monk plunges into a game of cat and mouse that could cost him his life—and the lives of many others.
 
“Puller is no standard-issue flawed hero; he is a fresh, exciting, and dramatic creation. . . . An excellent series.” —Booklist
