Description
Radicalized in prisons, recruited and trained to be deadly assassins, they're invisible, working menial jobs no one notices.
A silent army is assembled to avenge the martyrs killed by US drones. The plan is to publicly kill a long list of VIPs, starting with someone close to the American president.
Before the killing begins, Adam Drake, an attorney and former Delta Force Tier 1 operator, is assigned to a CEO of a defense contractor, whose assistant was murdered in his office.
Drake becomes suspicious of the IT security firm that has access to the building.
When the FBI ignores his warning, he's forced to rely on his own skills to protect the Secretary of Homeland Security and his client from attack during a public ceremony.
Now the assassins add Drake to their list, targeting him and the only family he has left.
A fast-paced, action-packed thriller with a plot that could be tomorrow's headline.

Person
Scott Matthews lives in Oregon, where he met his wife, attended the University of Oregon and earned degrees in Journalism and Law. He served in the Oregon National Guard, first as a CBR Specialist and later as a JAG officer. That's the bare bones of his Bio. The rest of the story is that he got hooked reading Ian Fleming's James Bond novels at an early age and has read just about everything in that genre since then. He outlined stories he intended to write for years before he finally sat down and wrote THE ASSASSIN'S LIST, the start of the Adam Drake Thriller series. He likes wine, especially wine from Oregon's wine country, fishing and hunting and following Formula One racing. And, of course, reading thrillers.
