Description
Jon Reznick is a "ghost": a black-ops specialist who takes his orders from shadowy handlers, and his salary from the US government. Still mourning the loss of his beloved wife on 9/11, he's dispatched to carry out a high-level hit. Reznick knows only that it must look like suicide. It's textbook.
But the target is not the man Reznick expected. The whole setup is wrong. In an instant the operation is compromised, and Reznick is on the run with the man he was sent to kill. A man wanted by the FBI, and by a mysterious terrorist organization hell-bent on bringing the United States to its knees. FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein is determined to track him down, and to intercept whatever it is Reznick was sent to do.
When Reznick's young daughter becomes a pawn in the game, he has to use more than his military training to stay one step ahead of those responsible. Meanwhile, he is the only person who knows the true extent of the threat to national security-and has the stealth and determination to stop it.
Revised edition: This edition of Hard Road includes editorial revisions.

Reviews / Votes
"Turner has written a book which combines the paranoid conspiracy of Three Days of the Condor with the relentless action of the Reacher thrillers." -Crime Fiction Lover"A great addition to the thriller genre, with all the necessary ingredients required to deliver the goods: tension, drama, thrills and a cast of tough, no-nonsense characters." -Shots Magazine
"It's a cliche to say 'the action never stops' but in Hard Road, it really NEVER stops and the number of destroyed vehicles gets close to Fast and Furious levels. But it's all completely believable and totally engrossing. I read it straight through and enjoyed every page." -Terry Irving, author of Courier and Warrior
