Old rivals become new adversaries in the explosive new installment of the bestselling Logan Booth series.
Retired assassin Logan Booth is ready to settle down after surviving a war that almost destroyed his life – but Jacinta Murphy, the President of the United States, has other ideas.
Paranoid he will expose her past mistakes, the President sets off a chain of events that drive Logan to Colombia and into the middle of an old war.
After colliding with the wrong cartel, Logan finds himself on the run across the mountainous Colombian countryside. His only chance of survival lies with Alice Mason, an unlikely friend and confidant. Desperate to keep her out of harm’s way, Logan refuses to call on her for aid. But what if she turns up unbidden?
How can Logan protect her if he can’t even guarantee he’ll make it out of this alive?

I can't wait for readers to experience the next chapter of Logan and Alice's journey.’ Matt Rogers
