Puppet on a String

Frank Drake is forty-five, laid off and drinking his savings away in a Seattle bar when a quiet man in a dark suit starts watching him. Mister Smith knows everything — Frank's debts, his ex-wife, the undocumented woman he loves. He offers a job that pays fifty thousand dollars up front, all in the name of national security. All Frank has to do is fly to Flint and change a light bulb. By the time he understands what the job really is, Smith is already pulling the strings.
