Reasonable Sin
Description
Carson Brand wakes up in a stranger's bed with blood on his hands and no memory of who he is.
Within hours, men are trying to kill him.
Hunted across Texas by assassins, cartel operatives, and federal forces desperate to erase the truth, Brand is forced into a brutal fight for survival armed with nothing but instincts he does not remember learning and flashes of a violent past that refuse to stay buried.
The only people willing to help him are Dehra and her brother Leon ? two ordinary civilians who have stumbled into a conspiracy powerful enough to destroy anyone connected to it. But when Leon is murdered by a rogue kill team, Brand and Dehra are thrown into a deadly manhunt stretching far beyond the border wars and criminal violence Brand once understood.
Someone is manipulating governments.
Someone is silencing witnesses.
And someone knows exactly who Carson Brand used to be.
As fragments of memory begin clawing their way back, Brand discovers he may be tied to a shadow network of oligarchs, political operatives, and covert power brokers operating behind the headlines of modern America.
But remembering the truth may be the one thing that gets him killed.
Violent, relentless, and packed with conspiracy, fugitive suspense, and brutal realism, Reasonable Sin pushes the Carson Brand series into darker and more dangerous territory where survival means trusting instincts even when you cannot trust your own mind.
Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Mark Greaney.
