Iago's Fool - Paperback

by Shawn Kerivan (Author)

When Rance's Vaughn's life of peaceful inebriation is violently interrupted, he learns that his past is like a rash that won't go away. His ex-wife's criminal activity pulls him into an international plot called SHAKESPEARE that threatens the national security of America, and drags him on a chase that leads from his Boston home to Paris, the steppes of Kazakhstan, and Ireland. Along the way Rance learns the shocking truths from a past he thought he'd buried long ago, from sins he thought were forgiven. Iago's Fool is a fast-paced, adventure thriller with an unlikely hero finding his way through a deadly world he's not prepared to inhabit. Iago's Fool is an intellectual, anti-Bond novel with real, flawed characters swept up in events they cant control.
