A novel by Jeremy Elice
🔥 A missing woman. A rising political star. A deal that could destroy them both.
From former Marine Raider turned Hollywood stuntman comes the fifth pulse-pounding installment in the Eddie Ankin series—Kingmaker.
When Congressman George Carrey—a movie star gunning for the California governor’s mansion—hires Eddie to track down his missing wife, it seems like a straightforward favor between old friends. But Jamila Hawthorne isn''t just any politician’s wife. She’s a brilliant sex crimes prosecutor with enemies in every corner of Hollywood and politics.
And she’s been gone for three days.
Eddie’s search takes him through the smoke and mirrors of high-level campaigns, cutthroat studios, and billion-dollar backroom deals. What begins as a quiet missing persons case spirals into a deadly conspiracy—one involving secret societies, murdered witnesses, and a candidate who may be more dangerous than the enemies he's fighting.
Caught between loyalty and truth, Eddie must decide: expose the man who saved his life—or keep a secret that could cost even more.
Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Lee Child, and Michael Connelly, Kingmaker delivers political intrigue, Hollywood grit, and hard-hitting action with a hero you won’t forget.
