The first disturbing report reaches Presidential Agent Charley Castillo as he sits down for Christmas Day dinner. The caller on the Virginia safe house’s secure line confirms that an investigative reporter working for Castillo’s European newspapers–and snooping after German and Russian thieves involved in the Iraqi Oil-for-Food scandal–has been brutally murdered in Marburg.
Next comes the call from the director of National Intelligence, who asks whether Castillo knows anything about the Kuhls–an Austrian couple serving as Central Intelligence Agency deep-cover assets since World War II –who have just been found dead in a Vienna park, strangled by stainless-steel garrotes.
And within hours Castillo learns of two assassination attempts that occurred on Christmas Eve. All narrowly escaped automatic-weapons fire from assailants unknown–unknown except for the fact that the hits were professional.
As Castillo shares the news with his group of troubleshooters in the innocuously named Office of Organizational Analysis–a menacing mix of military and former CIA, FBI, Secret Service, and other agents–two conclusions are immediately reached. There’s more than one big surprise in all this for Presidential Agent C. G. Castillo . . . if he can stay alive.

      Two brutal murders in Europe followed by failed assassination attempts in Philadelphia and Buenos Aires send a clear message to Lt. Charley Castillo: you're next. If that isn't enough, two senior Russian agents defect and land in Castillo's care. They share vital secrets, which lead to a black-ops mission to destroy a fish farm in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Castillo's ever-expanding band of spooks and warriors, along with his many European contacts, present challenges for narrator Dick Hill, who sometime works too hard to create distinctive voices for each. In the long run, however, his overall crisp, clear delivery engages listeners as the "ops" move into high gear. BLACK OPS is vintage Griffin, filled with twists and turns, along with a boatload of surprises for Charley Castillo. T.J.M. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
