The Berlin Brief
(2025)(The third book in the Silas Kane Action Thriller series)
A novel by Sam Carter
In Berlin, the past never stays buried. And some secrets are worth killing for.
Six months after Paris, Silas Kane arrives in Berlin for what should be a routine meeting with CIA Station Chief Robert Vance. But three blocks from the rendezvous point, professional kill teams open fire from multiple directions. Silas barely escapes with his life—only to discover that Vance is dead, murdered in his apartment and staged as suicide.
Then the nightmare gets worse. Evidence surfaces linking Silas to the killing. His credentials are revoked. His face appears on every intelligence watch list in Europe. The official narrative: a decorated operative suffering from PTSD has snapped, turned rogue, and murdered a superior officer. Unstable. Dangerous. Shoot on sight.
But Silas knows the truth. Vance was investigating something that got him killed—something connected to the Paris operation, to buried Cold War secrets, and to a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of Western intelligence. Someone powerful wants both men dead and is willing to mobilize every resource to make it happen.
Now hunted across Berlin by agencies that once trusted him, Silas has no backup, no support, and nowhere to run. With only Claire Dubois and a few desperate allies, he must survive long enough to uncover what Vance died protecting: evidence of a shadow network called Prometheus that has operated in secret for decades, eliminating anyone who gets too close to the truth.
The kill teams are professional. The conspiracy goes deeper than anyone imagined. And the only way out is through.
As the body count rises and the lies multiply, Silas faces an impossible choice: clear his name by exposing the conspiracy, or disappear forever while the truth stays buried. But walking away isn't who he is. And the people who framed him are about to learn what happens when you back a trained killer into a corner with nothing left to lose.
A relentless thriller of betrayal, impossible odds, and one man's fight for survival against a conspiracy that will stop at nothing to protect itself. For readers who crave nonstop action, political intrigue, and a hero who refuses to quit.
