Story
On the eve of the invasion, five nuclear devices are smuggled out of Iraq and hidden in the most unlikely of places—neighboring Iran. Now, as the threat of WMDs fades into a late-night punch line, a hardline splinter group waits for the perfect moment to unleash nuclear terror. When Navy SEAL Brendan McHugh captures a mysterious Iranian diplomat on a raid, it feels all wrong. While the official rules of engagement say he must release the diplomat, that doesn't stop McHugh from investigating further.

Summary
Suicide? Murder? Or maybe a political assassination?
When Special Prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead in his Argentina apartment mere hours before his testimony before Congress about linkages between the Argentinean President and the Islamic Republic of Iran, his death was initially ruled a suicide. But as facts emerged in the days after Nisman’s death, the public outcry for justice grew into a roar.
Death of a Pawn, a companion short story to the full-length thriller about modern-day nuclear terrorism, Weapons of Mass Deception, takes a fictional look at the real life tragic death of Alberto Nisman and the possible links to Iran and Hezbollah.

A well-written story from a very good author
Death of a Pawn: A WMD Companion Short Story, my second read from authors David Bruns & J.R. Olson. well-written, exciting, enjoyable short read. I bought this book back in August of this year because I already owned Weapons of Mass Deception (The WMD Files #1 & Battle Djinni: A Short Story (The WMD Files Book 4). Adam Verner's narration adds to the book’s enjoyment. I can’t wait to get the next book. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
