Out of the Oven and into the Fire - Paperback

by Dwain G. Fuller (Author)

A FLIGHT TO SAFETY-BUT THE BODIES KEEP PILING UP...

As told in the previous thriller, The Oven, CIA clandestine operative Woody Stressel and KGB undercover agent Ava Volkov become unlikely partners to solve the mystery of disappearing CIA operators who vanished and whose bodies were never found. The two of them barely escaped being tortured and cremated and having their ashes thrown out with used kitty litter. Woody and Ava became high-value targets for both the KGB and a powerful Chicago crime syndicate. They were moved to the secure CIA Camp Peary near Williamsburg, Virginia, for their safety while they decided whether to have their identities changed along with plastic surgery and relocation to a foreign country.

In this second thriller, the two agents receive murder warnings while at Camp Peary and quickly learn that they are not safe at the CIA facility. Ava and Woody make the dangerous decision to leave CIA protection and take a hazardous road trip to the Trans-Pecos desert in far West Texas where Woody's mentally unbalanced and paranoid uncle has built an armed compound.

This sequel to The Oven is packed with action and mystery and introduces new characters. Ava and Woody continue to walk a fine line between dodging bullets and eliminating bad guys. The ending is impossible to predict as the story unwinds with bodies piling up and Woody and Ava using all of their training and wits to stay alive.
