  Then the guy glanced out his window and Reggie got a good look at his face full-on.

  He slammed back against the shadowed door.

  Tony! Holy shit! Tony’s still alive!

  But that couldn’t be! Al-Thani had told him about Moose, who’d been found in the dunes with his head bashed in, and another guy done execution style. Reggie had figured Tim had done both of them—Moose because Tim had been pissed at him, and Tony because Reggie had neglected to call in once the shooting began up north.

  While Reggie had been recovering from his knee surgery, he’d read everything he could find on the Duck murders, as they were called at the time. The guy killed execution style had been identified as Tony Zahler. Reggie had never known his last name, but the first names matched. And that’s the way Tim would do it: two quick ones to the head.

  So what was the dead guy doing alive and well in a New York City cab?

  Had to tell Drexler. This could change everything. This could put Reggie’s name back in the “Needed” column. Because this could mean Tony was behind the hijacking.

  Tony … alive! This changed everything.

  THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD

  The preponderance of my work deals with a history of the world that remains undiscovered, unexplored, and unknown to most of humanity. Some of this secret history has been revealed in the Adversary Cycle, some in the Repairman Jack novels, and bits and pieces in other, seemingly unconnected works. Taken together, even these millions of words barely scratch the surface of what has been transpiring behind the scenes, hidden from the workaday world. I’ve listed them below in chronological order.
