An assassin and a troubled young woman become unlikely allies when they land themselves in a deadly chase that could destroy their lives... even if they survive. The first book in a blockbuster thriller series from Matt Rogers, million copy bestseller and ‘the most successful writer you’ve never heard of’ (The Story).
For ten years, Logan Booth served as a contract killer for the CIA – he just never knew it. In the twilight of his career, Logan learns he has been a vessel for furthering government interests, not a rogue hitman for a band of vigilantes. The revelation destroys him and, adrift in forced retirement, he spirals into a pit of self-loathing.
But when Jorge Romero – an investigative reporter and Logan’s oldest friend – is brutally and inexplicably murdered, Logan allows his fury to deliver him from despair.
With an ally in Alice Mason, a homeless witness with a target on her back, Logan goes to war. Against whom, he isn’t sure, but he knows powerful forces are at work behind the scenes. After all, Jorge was set to publish an op-ed on drug deaths and political inaction that would make an enemy of the mayor of New York.
Now, to deliver justice, Logan and Alice must confront their demons and survive a savage battle that could change their lives forever.
