“You might be onto something, Striker.”
“You think RBN operations overseas are short of cash?” she asked.
“Why not?” Bolan said. “It makes complete sense based on the intel.”
“Given the state of the world economy, it’s likely they’re starting to see a rapid depletion of funds. They need to get more money from their investors or find new ones. But I’m thinking the latter would take too long.”
“Which means they’d need to get all the financial data they could on those financiers,” Brognola concluded.
“Striker, do you think Godunov’s looking to crack that list?” Price asked.
“I think he plans to have Lutrova crack the New York financial network and suck it dry.”

CHAPTER ONE
A tail could make any number of mistakes, and Mack Bolan, aka the Executioner, knew most of them.
This time his followers had been in a hurry not to lose him in Boston’s morning rush hour, and they got too close in the sudden logjam of traffic caused by road construction. Bolan had spotted the vehicle with two men in the front seat as he left the rental agency at Logan International. But what made him suspicious was when a second vehicle identical to the first, occupied by two different men, came up behind him. With their suits and sunglasses, all four were either government types or trouble.
Bolan bet the latter.
Fortunately, it didn’t come as much of a surprise to him. A request from Hal Brognola at Stony Man Farm had brought the soldier to Boston. The President of the United States deemed it of some importance, a fact Brognola had pointed out when briefing Bolan less than eight hours earlier.
“The man we’re interested in is Bogdan Lutrova,” Brognola had said.
“Who’s he?”
“He’s a Russian citizen who was caught by Customs agents attempting to enter the country under a false identity,” Barbara Price, Stony Man mission controller, had answered.
