Foot Bath City Thug

Michael White travels to Baghdad to start a business and is attacked. His goods are destroyed, his capital is gone, and he is left with debts he cannot pay. He is a veteran, so when the only way out is a Russian mercenary outfit run by Igor, he takes it. A bar fight makes his name overnight. He buys tactical gear and a bulletproof vest and starts working. His first job is to collect Angela, a reporter for a Washington paper, from the Baghdad airport and escort her while she reports. They are hit with Katyusha rockets almost as soon as he picks her up. He gets her out of it at his own risk. From there he works the armed-conflict zones of the city, trading his life for money, in a business where a mistake is not forgiven.
