EVERYONE HAS SECRETS. BUT SOME CAN GET YOU KILLED.
Ryan Drake is a man who finds people who don't want to be found.
Once a soldier in the British Army, he now works for the CIA, leading an elite investigation team that tracks down missing agents. But his latest mission - to free a prisoner codenamed Maras and bring her back onto US soil within forty-eight hours - is more dangerous than anything his team has attempted before.
But it's when the mission is successfully completed that the real danger for Drake begins. Faced with a terrible threat, he is forced to go on the run with Maras - a veteran agent scarred by years of brutal imprisonment.
Hunted by his former comrades and those willing to do anything to protect a deadly secret, Drake is left with no choice but to trust a dangerous woman he barely knows.
For he has only one chance to save those he loves and time is running out...
Drake will return in Sacrifice.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Entertaining * The Telegraph * A high-octane and fast paced tale of derring-do set in the world of elite investigation and black-ops that had me hooked throughout...One of the strongest aspects of this book is Jordan's grasp of characterisation as Drake is a compelling and empathetic protagonist...Overall a very creditable debut and bodes well for a long running series featuring this new action-hero. * Raven Crime Reads *

Will Jordan initially wanted to be an actor and while working as an extra, he was cast as a World War Two soldier in a feature film. After being put through military bootcamp and taught how to handle weapons for his role, he decided to do further research and soon fell in love with works of military history. He then turned his hand to writing and, in order to shape his first thriller, visited weapon ranges all over America and eastern Europe, becoming something of an arms expert. He lives in Fife with his wife and son, and is currently writing the second novel in the Ryan Drake series.
