Forced to deal with the worst terrorists and dictators around the world, she uses disguises and a deadly poison to give her an edge in dealing with those that want to kill her. To stay alive she has honed her skills that few could defeat.
When an opportunity occurs to break free from Zsigmond, she moves fast but the risks she takes puts her on the firing line when her plan goes deadly wrong, and success looks bleak.

Advance Praise
From the first page to the last, War Merchant is a continuous suspenseful thriller. It kept me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails because I just had to know what happens next. This intriguing story is set in the '90s. With interesting, believable characters, the story flows well, taking you on a roller-coaster ride. Greed, corrupt politics, and terrorism resonate very well with what goes on around the globe. -- Ica Iova ...This story kept me reading. --Lynn Hallbrooks, Masquerade-Crew

A NetGalley book. An interesting look into the subterfuge involved in everyday arms dealing. No one or nation have any ethics when it comes to profiteering from this insidious trade as this story shows. The different players in this story were totally believable with suspense building all the time. Congratulations to Patrick Parker on an excellent told story.

Dydre works for an arms dealer, Clay and has a son who she dearly loves. Clay has David in a private school and controls Dydre using David. She deals with some of the worst terrorists but then she is not a pushover herself. Dydre tells Clay she needs $5 mil to buy some new tech gadgets which could be deadly in the wrong hands. She pays the owner of the company $3 mil and keeps the other two. This for her get away. Things do not go as she plans but lucky for her the US is watching and Anthony steps in to help. You have trouble keeping track of who is on which side.
