About King's Ransom: A Thriller

"Brimming with topics so current they're seemingly torn from tomorrow's headlines, and paced at breakneck speed, E.H. Jennings delivers a pulse-pounding debut thriller that fans of Brad Thor and Vince Flynn won't soon forget, complete with a shocking twist sure to leave readers dumbfounded and begging for more." A man haunted by his past. A woman consumed by scars and secrets. An American intelligence analyst abducted in Paris. A rogue Cold War-era spy with nothing to lose. Taken separately, they mean nothing. Woven together, they mean everything. The fate of America, and the world, will rest on their answer to one pivotal question: How far would you go to protect your family? Carson King is a devout family man who leads a simple life in small-town Kentucky. He's also a former assassin. After serving in an elite black operations unit called Operation Mirkwood, an unsanctioned subsect of a post-9/11 military initiative known as The Mirage Project, he has spent nearly a decade silencing his demons. But when his little brother is abducted in Paris, his attempt at a quiet life comes to an abrupt and roaring halt. Thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse, with hidden enemies both foreign and domestic, Carson's quest to find his brother takes him halfway across the world and into the trenches of the Syrian Civil War. With the help of Agent Rachel Sampson, along with a slew of old friends, Carson confronts nightmares long-buried in a fight against time. His brother's life, and the very fate of America, rests in the balance.
