The Ghost Protocol
(2025)(The second book in the Silas Kane Action Thriller series)
A novel by Sam Carter
Three children vanish.
Silas Kane has six days to find them.
But the deadliest enemy is the one Kane never saw coming.
When the teenage son of the US Ambassador to France disappears from the streets of Paris, Silas Kane is pulled from his grief-stricken exile to find him. It should be straightforward—locate the hostages, neutralize the threat, bring them home. But when two more American children vanish without ransom demands, Silas realizes this is something far more sinister.
Working alongside Inspector Claire Dubois—a brilliant, skeptical French detective who has every reason to distrust the CIA—Silas races against a ticking clock to locate Thomas Rousseau, Emma Chen, and Michael before a threatened execution is broadcast to the world. With help from trusted contacts and his own lethal expertise, he pursues leads across Paris and into the mountains of France.
But something is wrong. Every safe house becomes a death trap. Every lead goes cold minutes before they arrive. Someone is feeding intelligence to the kidnappers—someone who knows Silas's every move before he makes it. As the body count rises and the deadline approaches, Silas must confront a terrifying possibility: the person helping him might be the same person destroying him.
When the truth explodes in his face, Silas faces the ultimate betrayal. The conspiracy isn't what he thought. The enemy isn't who he expected. And the woman he's falling for is now a hostage in a game designed to break him.
Six days. Three children. One impossible rescue. And a traitor who's been there all along.
Now wounded, alone, and hunted in hostile territory, Silas must storm a stronghold to save Claire and three innocent lives—or watch them die on camera while the world believes he's the one who failed them.
A pulse-pounding thriller of deception, impossible odds, and shocking betrayals. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Mark Greaney, Daniel Silva and Jason Kasper.
