The Mongoose Synopsis   In the final days of the Vietnam War, Peter Jensen, a young CIA data analyst, is murdered for witnessing the killing of a U.S. Senator who was investigating CIA corruption and drug trafficking. Just before his death, Jensen writes an encrypted letter detailing what he has seen. Before he can deliver it, his killer—a beautiful, cunning, and manipulative woman who will destroy anyone in her path—arrives at his door, prompting Jensen to hide the letter. By a twist of fate, Jensen’s letter ends up in the hands of Shawn Harris, a tough, hard-drinking womanizer and a MACV-SOG Green Beret. Harris understands the significance of what he holds and suspects who Jensen’s killer might be. However, the war has ended, and his primary focus is on finding and killing his stepfather, who murdered his mother. The letter remains in Shawn’s Army duffel bag for thirty years, until a significant event brings it to light: the assassination of the President of the United States. Now living in Phuket, Thailand, Shawn recognizes Jensen’s killer as the new President, and he sets out to decode the encrypted letter and bring Jensen’s killer to justice. With the advent of climate change and the push for alternative energy, a powerful man has taken steps to slow the progress and ensure that oil will never be replaced. He is a man with very deep pockets, and he has hired a group of skilled technicians and mercenaries to infiltrate alternative energy research facilities to steal research material or, through threats of violence to family members and intimidation, stop the research altogether. And if necessary, kill anyone that stands in his way, even to the point of assassination of world leaders and placing his puppets in power to do his bidding. Through his spies in the NSA and CIA, this man has been informed of the existence of Jensen’s letter, and if it sees the light of day, it will destroy everything that he has tirelessly worked for. Now, he must send his mercenaries to recover it and kill anyone who has knowledge of its existence to protect the woman he has placed in power.
