Dark secrets are exposed...

…and an innocent girl is taken.

Atlas Hargrove is the beast sent into the abyss to find her.

Former SWAT commander, Atlas Hargrove, just earned himself back-to-back life sentences in a California supermax prison, for one catastrophic misstep cost him his wife, his family, and his life.

All is not lost, though. On the fringes of polite society, financiers with leverage and influence are in constant search of a brute like Atlas, an unlikely asset with a perfect alibi and the need to raise hell in the middle of Hell itself.

Halfway across the globe, a stolen child is being moved from one country to the next. With time as his enemy and the rule of law behind him, Atlas must rely on a dodgy group of mercenaries to hunt down those who took the girl and stamp a single message into the minds of monsters: If Atlas Hargrove comes after you, there will be blood.

Chock full of suspense, dirty-gritty action, a dash of high-society charm, and characters you will love and want to know in real life, this edge-of-your-seat international thriller begs the questions: what would you do to save the ones you love, and how far would you go to avenge them? More important, will you be able to live with who you have become once it’s over?

NOTE: This series contains the kind of action one would expect from a rated-R movie and is perfect for fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn, Mark Greaney, Gregg Hurwitz, Blake Banner, and Jason Kasper.
