Echoes of Retribution

A Thomas Blackburn Thriller: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

He was hunting the killers of his parents until they hired their own hunter.

The retribution started small. A sheriff's sergeant in Madera County. A financier hanging from a bridge near his home. To anyone watching, just bad luck for bad men. Larry Ganz knew better. Someone was picking his kingdom apart, one body at a time.

Thomas Blackburn is working a list. One by one, the architects of his parents' murder—the hedge fund, the private-military firm, the senator on a leash, the corrupt cell inside the NSA—are getting their reckoning.

Now the monster is pushing back. Solutions 51 operators are scouring the country. The NSA is tracking every device Thomas touches. And when the bodies pile up faster than they can be cleaned, Ganz reaches across an ocean for a man who has never failed a contract—a man who knows the fastest way to bring a hunter to ground is to take the one person he loves.

The hunter has become the hunted.
