If you've read Steve Berry's popular Cotton Malone thriller series, you'll be familiar with Luke Daniels, a spin-off character from those books in The Ninth Man (#1,211). Berry has co-authored this book with Grant Blackwood, but they've done a seamless job blending their writing into an interesting plot with several unexpected twists.
Luke Daniels, former Army Ranger and nephew of a former US president, is relaxing in London after completing his latest assignment for the Magellan Billet when he receives an urgent text from a former colleague. When Luke arrives at the Belgian home of Jillian Stein's grandfather, he finds himself in the middle of a fire storm. Her grandfather has been murdered, and those responsible will not stop until they retrieve a rifle hidden away by Benji Stein. Who is after it, and now them, and for what purpose? The stakes are life and death in this cat and mouse game involving a controversial day in American history.
Okay, I did not see the end of this one coming! Tense thriller, with a promise of at least two more to come from this writing team. Can't wait.
