  Marines are being murdered… 
  …and it takes someone outside the government to fix the problem. 
  It’s a race against the clock to dismantle a group that’s been in place for years. They’re well-funded, too and armed with weapons they shouldn’t have. Authorities are stymied. Ian and Jenny Bragg are not so constrained. 
  It’s supposed to be a single target. What if the target may not be the target at all, but a pipeline to those who deserve what Ian Bragg has to offer? 
  In an organization like the Peace Archive, contracts tend to take on a life of their own. When it comes to imparting justice, the operators become the last line of defense with only one chance to get it right. 
  Ian Bragg. A hitman with a conscience. 
  This book can be read as a standalone. You don’t need to read Ian and Jenny’s backstory to enjoy A Fatal Bragg, but if you are interested, take a look at The Operator, A Clean Kill, and The Replacement.
