They know everything. They see everything. They control everything ... except the one man who can stop them.
From Matthew Betley, award winning author of The Neighborhood and the bestselling Logan West series, comes a no-holds-barred thrill ride that will grip you from page one through an explosive conclusion you'll never see coming.
To most of the world, Owen Pierce is just another handsome, successful Miami lawyer.
But to the mysterious, all-powerful organization known as the Council, he's one of the most dangerous--and useful--assassins in the world. When Owen lost everything, it was the Council that gave him purpose. He became their most dangerous weapon, the man and his team they send to eliminate hard-to-reach targets who pose a threat to the peace and security the Council claims to safeguard.
When a mission to take out a Cartel leader goes disastrously wrong, Owen starts to uncover the sinister truth of the Council--and what they're really after. And with the Council's master plan in its final stages, that makes him a dangerous liability. Before you can say Mission Impossible, Owen and his team go from the Council's top operative to number one target.
But the Council has made one critical mistake. They chose Owen because he lost everything ... and that means he has nothing left to lose.
Propulsive, shocking, and packed with high-octane action, devilishly clever twists, and emotionally gripping themes, The Council is Matthew Betley's biggest blockbuster thrill ride yet.
