Blood Ransom an action adventure thriller

BLOOD RANSOM: A Gripping Action Thriller (DECLASSIFIED FILE)

For a ghost operative, some jobs are just business. This one is a reckoning.

Brill Wingfield, a deniable asset who walks in the shadows, is summoned for an impossible task. Amara Okoro, the Georgetown-educated daughter of a brutal African warlord-turned-statesman, has been snatched in broad daylight from a luxury hotel in Washington D.C. The kidnapping is a professional, silent operation that leaves no trace—only questions.

With the White House in a political firestorm, the official investigation is dead on arrival. The FBI, CIA, and D.C. Metro Police are locked in a bitter turf war, each agency more interested in protecting its jurisdiction than finding the girl. President Okoro, a man with a past as bloody as his country’s soil, trusts no one, least of all the American intelligence agencies he believes may have orchestrated the abduction.

Hired as a ghost to operate outside the law, Brill is plunged into a labyrinthine manhunt where every lead is a potential trap. The list of suspects is a who’s who of international intrigue:

Exiled political rivals hungry for revenge.

Islamist militants looking to fund their holy war.

Ruthless corporate mercenaries seeking to control a nation’s resources.

And a violent domestic hate group that sees the President’s visit as the ultimate betrayal.

But the ghost has a ghost of his own.

Brill’s past collides violently with his present when he discovers a link to his own history as a young mercenary in Africa—a past where he fought against President Okoro’s bloody coup. Now, he must hunt for the daughter of a man who would see him dead, a man whose most trusted friend he killed twenty years ago.

For fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Mark Greaney’s Gray Man, and the sharp, gritty realism of Elmore Leonard, BLOOD RANSOM is an unputdownable thriller that explores the brutal landscape of international power, personal revenge, and the price of old sins. In a world of shadows and lies, Brill must fight a war on multiple fronts, where the only person he can trust is himself.

In this high-stakes game of political chess, rescuing the pawn is only the beginning. The real danger lies in returning her to the king. Because when the ransom is paid in blood, everyone has a debt to collect.
