About Tin Soldier Down (Troy Barclay/Amber Neilson Mystery Thriller series)

In Tin Soldier Down, ATF Agent Troy Barclay, a prisoner of the serial killer known as ‘Tim’, is released in the Yukon Territories wilderness five minutes ahead of a twenty-four man killer team of mercenaries whose orders are to kill him on sight; only Troy doesn’t play by the rules and within an hour, he has trimmed the merc team down to twenty with more to follow.As the mercs track Troy through the wilderness, he uses every trick in the book he learned as a CIA agent and Navy SEAL to trim the merc herd while staying ahead of them and dodging his pursuers.Meanwhile, Amber Barclay, also an ATF agent and Troy’s wife, arrives in Whitehorse Yukon Territories where she hopes to find Troy before the mercs can kill him. Unknown to Tim, who has forbidden her to have any help from law enforcement, she is being helped by Titus Dufrain, her friend and an NYPD homicide detective, who has hiked into the rugged and remote Kluane Wilderness Park to scout out locations where the mercs might be holding or chasing Troy.Titus’s partner, Leo Freeman has also arrived ‘undercover’ in Whitehorse to interact with local fishermen and hunters who may have seen evidence of the mercs which Leo would pass on to Amber.Troy uses booby traps and natural weapons to kill or wound six more mercs and lets them know it isn’t going to be easy to kill him. In a dense forest grove, he finds a female grizzly bear that he harasses into charging three mercs who have no chance when the grizzly suddenly attacks them.While high on the side of a mountain, Troy sees distant Yakutat Bay and figures out where he is. With that in mind, he turns southwest and races for Yakutat with the mercs closing on him.In the end, it comes down to one question: who can survive in the Kluane Wilderness; Troy and Amber or Tim and his mercenaries.
