THEY TAUGHT HIM TO KILL. NOW THEY WANT HIM DEAD.

´One of the best new series characters since Jack Reacher´ Lisa Gardner

It´s been five years since Carter Blake parted ways with top-secret government operation Winterlong. They brokered a deal at the time: he´d keep quiet about what they were doing, and in return he´d be left alone.

But news that one of Blake´s old allies, a man who agreed the same deal, is dead means only one thing - something has changed and Winterlong is coming for him.

Emma Faraday, newly appointed head of the secret unit, is determined to tie up loose ends. And Blake is a very loose end. He´s been evading them for years, but finally they´ve picked up his trace. Blake may be the best there is at tracking down people who don´t want to be found, but Winterlong taught him everything he knows. If there´s anyone who can find him - and kill him - it´s them.

It´s time for Carter Blake to up his game.

High-stakes action, blistering tension and a deadly game of cat and mouse, THE TIME TO KILL is the must-read new thriller from Mason Cross:
