Blue-Plate Special Operative
(2026)(The third book in the Return of The Ghost series)
A novel by A C Whitney
Jack Carter traded a body count for a breakfast rush.
Three months of peace. Three months of pancakes, school buses, and a nine-year-old restaurant critic who thinks his specials are ‘stagnating.’ For a retired assassin, it's everything he never knew he wanted.
Then Solomon Pace walks through the door with a black envelope and an offer Jack can't refuse: host The Table, a legendary dinner where the world's deadliest operatives gather to eat, not to kill. Twenty-four seats. Twenty-four assassins. One seven-course meal. And an $11 million bounty that says Jack won't survive to serve dessert.
But the real danger isn't the guests. It's the empty seat, purchased by Aleksandr Petrov, the man who made Jack into a weapon and now has plans for his daughter.
To protect Emily, Jack will need his entire crew: Leah's lethal precision, Kira's intelligence network, Chloe's digital fortress, and Scarlett's palate, because at this table, a poisoned dish is just another form of diplomacy.
The Ghost built a life worth protecting. Now he has to cook his way through the most dangerous dinner party in the world to keep it.
