About Angel Heist: A Short Story

The Sound of Freedom meets Drive in this genre-busting rescue thriller From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson. He’s saved dozens of lives. But to survive this mission, he’ll have to save his soul. After fifteen years on the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Barrett McCaffery is burned out and broken. He’s traded tactical raids for construction sites—honest work that doesn’t remind him of all the people he couldn’t save. His marriage is gone, his faith shattered, and his bank account is circling the drain. Then a stranger makes him an offer he can’t refuse: two-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars to perform one more hostage rescue. The stranger’s boss is a father, and the father’s little angel has been kidnapped. It sounds simple—until Barrett realizes his employers left out a few crucial details. The kidnappers aren’t ordinary criminals and the little girl he is sent to rescue is nothing like what he expects. As the mission spirals into the supernatural, Barrett is forced to confront the demons that have haunted him for years. To survive and rescue this angel—and redeem himself from the losses he has tortured himself with for years—he will have to rely on the little girl, Seraphina, every bit as much as on himself as he confronts the question of just who is rescuing who?
