Fallen Angel

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

`Fierce and raw.'

`A white-knuckle, pulse-racing thriller.'

`Grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go.'

`Spies. Politics. Betrayal. It's all terrifyingly real.'

`Perfect for fans of Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne.'

My name is Kendra Shaw, and I was once an assassin for my government.

For years, I worked in the shadows, hunting down terrorists all around the world.

Sweat, blood, adrenaline this was my reality. There was no place I wouldn't go. There was no target I couldn't eliminate.

I was fierce and relentless.

But then the unthinkable happens. An operation in Iraq goes horribly wrong. Innocent people die. And the pressure becomes too much for me to take I suffer a nervous breakdown.

What happens to an assassin who can no longer kill on command?

Well, nothing good. I'm disgraced, suspended from duty, and my superiors send me back home.

I spend months recovering from the trauma. My soul is shattered. I think I'm out of the game. I think it's all over.

But, damn it, I'm wrong. Any peace I enjoy is short-lived.

One afternoon, on a busy street corner, I spot a familiar face from my past Ryan Hosseini, the lover I left behind years ago when I decided to serve my country.

My breath is caught in my throat. I'm shaking. Wrestling with old regrets.

I decide to approach him.

That's when I realise that Ryan isn't alone.

A surveillance team is hovering close by. Bad men with bad vibes. They're following Ryan.

Who are they? What do they want?

I hesitate. And before I can make sense of what's happening, a bomb detonates and rips through the lunchtime crowd.

Amidst the fire and rubble, Ryan vanishes.

I'm shocked and confused.

Now I find myself on the hunt once more, searching the city, determined to uncover the truth.

Is Ryan a victim of circumstance? Or is he a home-grown terrorist on the verge of unleashing an even deadlier attack?

I won't stop until I get the answers that I desperately seek...
