Bad Chemistry: A Patrick Evans CIA Thriller Kindle Edition
Ex-CIA Officer Patrick Evans is too late to save his colleague from a drug overdose - but just in time to kill the Chinese spy responsible.
The two killings trigger an avalanche of twisted connections, treason at the highest level, and grim deaths in quiet places.
Drafted to investigate by his Congresswoman employer, Pat follows a trail of chemicals and money from the Chinese provinces to Mexico City, and back home to Washington DC - where the Fentanyl boom is secretly financing one man’s political machine.
The circle of trust Pat can rely on rapidly contracts as his search takes him steadily higher on the Capitol Hill food chain, and to an untouchable man of influence and power – unless Pat can use his foe’s vanity and arrogance to bring him down.
Join a determined and remorseless Pat as he moves between darkened Mexican side streets and trendy watering holes in the nation’s capital - all the while himself a target of killers-for-hire and a vengeful Chinese intelligence officer.
The sequel to Tom DeGeorge's debut novel, Casualties, in a series that weaves authentic Agency tradecraft and culture into an action thriller perfect for the fans of Mark Greaney and Lee Child. Grab your copy today!

About the author
Tom is a former CIA Officer, retired from the Directorate of Digital Innovation (DDI). That's as deep as he'll go on a resume. Or here. He writes spy thrillers out of respect and envy for Case Officers, and everyone else in the DO (Directorate of Operations). The DO are the fighter pilots of the CIA: “I was Air Force, but I wasn’t a fighter pilot.”
He lives in an old fishing village in coastal North Carolina: "I sleep late, I fly, I write; I have a big dog and a small house. I'm a decent cook and a lousy gardener. And Tom DeGeorge is my true name. I miss the people, the work, and the atmosphere at CIA. No one I know misses the stress, frustration, and the long line at the OHB Starbucks."

The book starts out with Pat working on the hill advising several congressmen about intelligence issues, including a member of the house intelligence committee. When the house members chief of staff and half brother disappears, Pat is recruited to help track him down. This simple task immediately escalates, and suddenly Pat is in the middle of a conspiracy involving drug cartels, China, spies and politicians.
This book opens with its foot on the gas pedal and does not let up. I highly recommend it. Although if you haven’t read the first one, I would start there. I promise you won’t regret it.
