"Another tightly plotted, deftly executed page turner from a master of suspense and international intrigue. Joseph Badal writes timely stories with authority and compassion. Highly recommended."
-Sheldon Siegel, New York Times Bestselling Author

"Evil Deeds" is the first book in the Danforth Saga, which includes "Terror Cell," "The Nostradamus Secret," "The Lone Wolf Agenda," & "Death Ship." In this series, the reader can follow the lives of Bob & Liz Danforth, and of their son, Michael, from 1971 through present day.

"Evil Deeds" begins on a sunny spring day in 1971 in a quiet Athenian suburb. Bob and Liz Danforth's morning begins just like every other morning: Breakfast together, Bob roughhousing with Michael. Then Bob leaves for his U.S. Army unit and the nightmare begins, two-year-old Michael is kidnapped.

So begins a decades-long journey that takes the Danforth family from Michael's kidnapping and Bob and Liz's efforts to rescue him, to Bob's forced separation from the Army because of his unauthorized entry into Bulgaria, to his recruitment by the CIA, to Michael's commissioning in the Army, to Michael's capture by a Serb SPETSNAZ team in Macedonia, and to Michael's eventual marriage to the daughter of the man who kidnapped him as a child.

It is the stops along the journey that weave an intricate series of heart-stopping events built around complex, often diabolical characters. The reader experiences CIA espionage during the Balkans War, attempted assassinations in the United States, and the grisly exploits of a psychopathic killer.
