He wasn't hired to take a side. He was hired to wipe the board clean.
The beautiful Italian port city of Alenna is a paradise held hostage. Two brutal criminal empires-the cold, calculating Russian Bratva and the volatile Croatian syndicate-are locked in a fragile truce, strangling the city's commerce with a grip of fear. The local authorities are bought. The streets are bleeding.
Enter Brill Wingfield.
Hired by a consortium of powerful men who want their city back, Brill is a ghost operative with a simple, bloody contract: eliminate both factions. Permanently. A lesser man would bring an army. Brill just brings himself.
Instead of launching a frontal assault, Brill becomes the ghost in their machine, the architect of a war where everyone is a pawn. He masterfully manipulates the gangs, turning their own greed and violence against them. A stolen drug shipment blamed on the Russians. A bloody double-cross pinned on the Croatians. Every move is a precisely calibrated step to push the two syndicates toward a final, apocalyptic confrontation.
But as the city descends into chaos, two complications arise: a stubborn, honest cop who refuses to believe the official story, and the city's brilliant, beautiful money launderer, the one woman who holds the secrets to both empires. She is the prize in their war, and Brill's only key to burning it all to the ground.
For fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, the tactical precision of Mark Greaney's Gray Man, and the sharp, gritty dialogue of Elmore Leonard, FOREIGN TARGET is a relentless, sun-drenched noir thriller. It's a masterclass in manipulation and brutal efficiency, a story that proves in a city of predators, the most dangerous man is the one they never see coming.
In this deadly game of chess, the ghost isn't just a piece on the board. He's the one knocking it over.
