About The Book

For ten years, he was a government assassin.
He just didn't know it.
Now he's coming for the people who used him.

Logan Booth thought he was a vigilante.

For a decade, he carried out assassinations believing he was serving justice alongside a secret group of operatives. Then he discovers the devastating truth: he has been a weapon of the CIA all along, manipulated into eliminating targets that served powerful government interests.

The revelation destroys him.

But before Logan can come to terms with the betrayal, his oldest friend—investigative journalist Jorge Romero—is brutally murdered.

Consumed by grief and rage, Logan launches his own investigation, determined to uncover who ordered the killing and why.

His only ally is Alice Mason, a homeless witness who has seen too much and now has a target on her back.

Together, they are drawn into a deadly conspiracy reaching the highest levels of power. Hunted by ruthless enemies and unsure who to trust, Logan and Alice must fight for survival while exposing a truth that powerful people will kill to protect.

Explosive, fast-paced, and packed with relentless action, The Forsaken is the gripping first novel in a bestselling thriller series featuring unforgettable assassin Logan Booth.

Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Jack Carr, Mark Greaney, and Brad Thor, this action thriller delivers covert operations, government conspiracies, assassins, revenge, and nonstop suspense.

“Logan Booth is a character who is impossible to look away from and difficult to forget.” — Kyle Mills
