In a gripping tale of espionage, betrayal, and reinvention, "Corporal Punishment" follows Thomas Michael Dunn-a former U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency assassin-who fakes his own death to escape a life of sanctioned violence. Adopting a new identity in rural Ireland, Dunn plans to quietly rebuild, but is quickly drawn back into a criminal underworld that blends covert operations, black-market enterprises, and a tangled web of international power plays. As Dunn builds a seemingly innocent pub empire hiding a dark gambling syndicate, ghosts of the past threaten his future-and his freedom. With rogue CIA agents, high-level government corruption, and a global shadow network known only as The Enterprise, this military-political thriller doesn't just question morality-it executes it.
