5 STAR REVIEWS!
"John Betcher does it again! He brings readers an exciting, action-filled, fast paced, thriller in THE EXILED ELEMENT. Betcher always manages to fill his books with intrigue and a dash of humor. His plots are fiction but could easily be ripped from the headlines. Beth is a strong character in more than one way. I appreciate the way Betcher developed her. She makes me want to take a few self-defense classes. Betcher’s books are equally plot and character driven. He makes me eager for the next book in this series." -Anne B. for READERS FAVORITE "Betcher is an up and coming writer that deserves your eye-balls. His novels are well-written, fast-paced and enjoyable." -Marty Dodge for BLOGCRITICS.

PLOT SUMMARY
In response to recent turmoil in Egypt’s intelligence community, the CIA has recalled Beth Becker to active duty. Though she accepts the assignment, the backstabbing and deceit she finds festering within the Agency remind her why she retired from government work.
Meanwhile, her husband, “Beck,” stays home in Red Wing, helping Chief Deputy Sheriff, Doug “Gunner” Gunderson, formulate what should be routine security plans for a visiting dignitary. But a less than stellar private security firm, and a determined sniper, result in a crisis situation that stretches our heroes’ abilities to their limits.
Filled with intrigue, humor, and ripped-from-the-headlines action, THE EXILED ELEMENT will remind you why you came to love the Beckers in the first place.
