Book Summary
Abdul Karmar, aka “The Eastman,” is a well-educated hired gun of mixed Tuareg and Arab descent whose loyalties lie with the highest bidder. He moved to Libya to find a better life, and although he didn’t care for the country’s leader, he didn’t care for the “West men” either-earning him his nickname. The Eastman is also a huge fan of American westerns. He meets Sam Randall, an American Cov Ops agent, one night while on assignment in Bagdad, and their paths will cross again years later when Randall’s wife is kidnapped in the United States.
The Eastman is a fast-paced thriller-a multifaceted novel whose unpredictable plot spans the globe. The constantly changing landscape and diverse cast of characters result in a surprising and suspenseful debut novel, peppered with a distinctive Old West flavor.
