CABAL
Dane Cooper continues his mission from Jones Point, to find his missing daughter Angela. His involvement in the mysterious group of grieving parents intensifies as the Cabal becomes bolder and more brazen. From a high-profile assault upon sex traffickers in Savannah Georgia to a clandestine military operation in Berbera Somaliland to assassinate a ruthless terrorist, Dane continues to bring the fight to those that would harm children. At every turn they must stay out of the crosshairs of Carl Blanchard’s new FBI taskforce and avoid being cornered by Virginia Bureau of Criminal Investigation Special Agents Patterson and Stills. But this time, the Keeper and his disciples are fighting back. The hunters have become the prey as the Cabal is viciously attacked by an unknown assailant. The savage killer is a ghost, torturing and murdering them one by one as he moves his way up the hierarchy. Dane, Sam, and Jack race against time to find this ghost and protect their members before the club is completely eradicated. Nobody is safe.
Now investigating other grieving parent’s cases, Dane must conceal his efforts from the zeal of an FBI agent convinced that a vigilante cabal exists; a dedicated Virginia Bureau of Investigation team working parallel crimes against children; and an elusive network of monsters at the center of it all. Punishing the wicked while searching for his little Angel, Dane must overcome the struggle with his internal demons for retention of his soul.

Sean Hagerty has combined over 25+ years of service in the Special Operations community and deep-rooted research instincts from years of academic pursuits in history to tell this story. This story was written mostly in the plush seats of the daily Tacketts Mill/Pentagon commuter bus and the shaky bucket seats of the Franconia Springfield/Largo blue metro line. However, a few chapters were written while traveling for work, taking advantage of uninterrupted thoughts on an airliner. One chapter was even written during an evening break while on a business trip aboard the USS Nimitz CVN 68 aircraft carrier out in the Pacific Ocean.
Cabal all came together during evening edits in his home shared with Misty, in Lakeridge, Virginia.
Jones Point was the first novel in the Dane Cooper series.
Cabal is the second.
