About the book
They trained Jack Noble to do the unthinkable. Then they tried to erase him.
Jack Noble is the product of a CIA-sponsored pipeline that takes Marines early, sharpens them into operators, and uses them where paperwork can’t go.
In Baghdad, that life is already brutal. Then one night flips the board: a dead family, a manufactured narrative, and a hunt that doesn’t end at the battlefield.
Jack’s instincts say disappear. His conscience says fight back. And the more he sees how far they will go, the more he understands the truth: this isn’t about justice. It’s about control.
When the last door to a normal life closes, a new one opens. It comes with a simple job title and a future that pays in blood.
For fans of Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher, and Gray Man, this is Jack Noble’s origin.

About the book
Six women. Six mountaintop deaths. All ruled accidents—until DS Max Craigie connects the dots.
When experienced climber Leanne Wilson falls to her death on a remote Scottish peak, authorities chalk it up to tragedy. But Max isn’t buying it. Especially not when he discovers five other women have died in eerily similar circumstances. All alone. All off record. All off cliffs.
Max knows the pattern isn’t coincidence—it’s calculated. The deeper he digs, the more tangled the case becomes, pointing to a killer who moves in shadows and leaves no trace.
As the body count rises and the investigation veers into a labyrinth of chilling conspiracies, Max must face a terrifying truth: this predator is just getting started.
Can Max catch the killer before another woman falls?
