Reznick mourns the death of his wife, whom he lost in the 9/11 attacks. His latest mission requires him to carry out a high level hit and make it look like a suicide.

The operation gets compromised midway, which makes Reznick run for his life from the same man whom he was asked to kill. This man seems very dangerous as he is linked to a deadly terrorist organization that wants to destroy the US. The man is also on the most wanted list of the FBI, and so its Assistant Director, Martha Meyerstein, shows an interest in knowing about Reznick’s mission. Later, Jon Reznick’s own daughter lands in the center of the deadly game, which forces him to come out in open. But, he is not someone who would surrender so easily. One thing that his military training has taught him is not to surrender at any cost and do whatever it takes to bring the situation under control when the nation’s safety and security is at risk.

Another excellent novel written in the series is called ‘Hard Kill’.

Once again Martha Meyerstein and Jon Reznick are depicted in the lead roles by author Turner.

The former Special Forces operative, Jon Reznick, also joins Martha teams to locate the diplomat. The team suspects that there is an Islamist terrorist group that has kidnapped the diplomat as he works in the Persian Gulf area. However, Reznick thinks that there is something else at play in this case. He suspects that a leading surgeon from Washington DC has something to do in this case. Probably, he is involved in the kidnapping. Soon, several attacks take place on the FBI team, which makes them realize that the diplomat’s abduction is just a small part of a bigger plot. And due to this, New York as well as the whole country has come under a great risk. Reznick needs to use his specialized skills and reach the roots of this conspiracy so as to prevent the nation from getting destroyed.

   I have just discovered your Jon Reznick books and am currently reading your first in this series. I note your favourite & influential authors (mine too) & note that whilst there is a similar genre & theme that is present in your work I’m impressed with not only your writing style but also the extensive research that you have done to make this book credible.
   I believe a side career in Geopolitics would be a good fit for you.
   Keep up the good work!
