Sleeper's Run

 Synopsis: War on Terror veteran, Eric Caine, is found wandering the streets of Miami with no memory of the car accident that left him there. Alone and suffering from PTSD, Eric is on a one-way road to self-destruction. Then a chance meeting at a bar begins a series of events that helps Eric start anew. When his new job relocates him to Venezuela-the land of his childhood-things, however, take an ominous turn as a catastrophic event threatens the stability of the country. Now Eric must escape an elite team of CIA assassins as he tries to uncover an international conspiracy in which nothing is what it seems.

Eric Cane is like a book version of Burn Notice!  At first he is portrayed as a drunk who knows nothing.  After getting into a fight at a bar, another guy bails him out.  The unbeknownst friend Antonio ultimately had plans for Eric.  Eric was sent to Venezuela with a mission - kill the president. After setting down and doing a few things he realized he was being tracked by officials and maybe tricked.   The black-out he dealt with reminded me of Borne Identity, except Eric was a bit more trusting of people than Jason Borne was.  The author, Mosquera, used many descriptive details and painted the action scenes for the readers.  Using magnificent details like this allows us to fall into the story and see the 'movie' in our minds.  A great writer can always turn a book into a movie within the readers mind!  To top the excitement off, there is even a love story, well as much a love story as a man on the run from assassins can get. Would you find yourself falling for this guy?  Read and find out!
