Three targets. Four days. Zero margin for error.

Kansas City. When a kind-hearted mechanic is attacked by mob enforcers, Kyle Payne steps in—inadvertently killing the son-in-law of crime boss Avi Russo.

Captured and fitted with a neural kill-chip that can be activated remotely, Payne is forced to become Russo’s personal assassin. He has four days to eliminate key members of a rival crime organization. If he fails, he dies.

As Payne navigates the lethal underworld of Kansas City, he realizes he’s stumbled into a tangled web of treachery and intrigue. A mysterious bounty hunter is circling. The Russian Bratva smells blood. And Russo's own daughter is desperate to escape her father's empire.

Payne can only see one way out. He will trigger an all-out war between the factions—and in the chaos, find a way to free himself from Russo's control.

With enemies closing in from every side and the clock in his skull ticking down, Payne knows one thing for sure—he’s predator, not prey.

Take Down – book 5 in the superb new action thriller series featuring Kyle Payne. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Jason Kasper and Paul Heatley.
