A former international arms dealer brings his unique expertise to this twisting, action-packed spy thriller.

From his elegant home in Southern California, Jim Factor negotiates legitimate weapons deals for his clients in Europe. But when he's approached with a shady job that pays too well to refuse, the one-time deal may be his last. With the Russian mafia after him, Factor must disappear quick--and telling his wife, Diane, anything about the situation would only put her in danger.

Hiding out in San Francisco and preparing for a life on the run, Factor is tracked down by a private detective--and the Russians aren't far behind. Now his only chance at survival is to fight a ruthless, deadly enemy face-to-face. From Alcatraz Island to Spain and the Balkans, The Missing Factor is an international spy thriller shot through with authentic spy craft.
