With General Johnson dead, Cooper could disappear forever…
““With General Johnson dead, Cooper could disappear forever. Thanks to his earnings from Ibrahim Haddad, he had the means to live anywhere under any identity he created.

And with more actual experience than anyone in his stock and trade, he thought he might be able to make the bestseller list.””
