Jewel thieving partners Gill Underwood
and Trudy Elwell have been set up, and Trudy has paid with her life.
Working for Cubans and abiding by their code of conduct means Underwood
is left on his own, holding $150 million worth of hot sparks. A former
naval intelligence officer, Underwood uses his knowledge of Sun Tzu’s
Art of War to outmaneuver his enemies—the ruthless Serbian and Chinese
crime syndicates who will stop at nothing to recover the jewels. With
speed, technology, brains, and brawn, Underwood must survive a
multi-layered game of cat and mouse that leads to the most clandestine
levels of U.S. intelligence.

“Abundant action, comic confrontations (shades of Elmore
Leonard), and clever deceits make for a fun-filled read. The final twist is not
to be missed.”

“In this fast-paced thriller. Wiprud excels at creating a
sense of place; readers will feel like they’re right there with Gill on New
Jersey’s Gold Coast and throughout the Big Apple and beyond.”

“Gill’s manipulation by the Feds is either paranoid fantasy or deadly accurate.
The blending of forms makes for choppy reading, but there’s enough action here
to keep one going until the book finishes as a novel of revenge.”

“Amid almost comically obscene exchanges among the Serbians, the fast-paced
action builds to a devilishly complex solution to who’s the real puppet master.”

“An intricate caper novel full of humor provided by Gill's ironic first person
narration and complex plotting courtesy of the talented Brian Wiprud. Why is it
that guys like him don't get the sales that junk from other best-selling,
unnamed thriller writers get? Sigh.”

“The Clause will appeal to readers who look for Bourne identity style
thrillers. The book is carefully plotted, slowly revealing the schemes and the
identity of the anti-hero Gill, who is not what he seems to be, while at the
same time keeping him breathlessly on the run from three flavors of bad guy and
the law.”
