Summary

"Thriller writing at its best."
--Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the third book in a gripping new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews).

Former Army Ranger and ex-NASCAR driver Derek Vesper is used to high velocity, whether its wheels, wings or skis. Assumed to be KIA in a firefight, Derek, unknown to anyone, uses his unique skills as a secret government operator to work outside the scope of protocol and to embrace the most dangerous—and fraught—of missions….

In Book #3, extracting a North Korean defector from the world's most heavily fortified border was already a suicide mission. Now with enemy forces closing in, Derek Vesper must orchestrate an escape across impossible terrain using everything from farm trucks to freight trains. The DMZ has never seen a chase like this—and neither has the Yellow Sea that stands between freedom and capture.

The Derek Vesper series delivers pulse-racing thrills and knife-edge suspense that seizes your attention with an iron grip. Featuring spectacular action sequences and mind-blowing twists, this series will propel you through a rollercoaster ride, from dynamite openings to jaw-dropping finales. Ideal for readers who love the works of Daniel Silva, Brad Taylor, and Vince Flynn.

Future books in the series are also available!

"Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down."
--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel."
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)

    A lovely little spot for murder! 
     
     
     
    Not much happens in Biddle Rhyne, a quiet, picturesque village in the southwest of England. Especially if you don't count the meat raffle on a Thursday night and the odd sheep escaping a field. 
     
     
     
    However, that's all set to change when Julia Ford, a normal(ish) twenty-something who works in the local pub, stumbles upon a murder victim. 
     
     
     
    Upsetting, but not the end of the world. Particularly as the victim is Audrey White, the cantankerous owner of a nearby garden center. 
     
     
     
    But when the police discover Julia had argued with the woman in the past, and her fingerprints are found on a death threat, she is accused of the crime, and her life is turned upside down. 
     
     
     
    Released on police bail and encumbered with an unfetching ankle tag, Julia will have to clear her own name. 
     
     
     
    Yet the murderer is intent that she takes the fall. Will Julia land on her feet?

    What crime needs no words to destroy a man? 
    Three envelopes arrive at a respectable London address—each unmarked, each empty, each bearing only an impression stamped in grey ash: a griffin and a broken key. No threats are written. No demands are made. Yet within days, Sir Alistair Wynne, a retired colonial official haunted by a secret from Calcutta, is found dead in his locked study. The verdict is natural causes. But his companion-secretary knows better—and so does Sherlock Holmes. 
    Summoned to Baker Street by a young woman who fears the police have closed the case too soon, Holmes encounters a web of deception stretching from the fog-choked lanes of Chancery to the decaying wharves of Limehouse. An indebted nephew, a terrified clergyman, a proud colonel, and a polished solicitor all orbit the dead man’s legacy—and the missing packet of papers that could ruin or redeem them. 
    As the great detective traces the origin of the ashen seal and the buried injustice it represents, he uncovers a case like no other: a murder committed through terror, a revenge served with legal cunning, and a riddle that only the sharpest mind in England can solve. 
    The past has opened its grave. And it will not rest until Holmes confronts the truth.

    A New York Times bestseller “delivers lurid details of political chicanery and lively descriptions” in a thriller about a politician’s vengeful ex-lover (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    Pam Leighton is a smart, ambitious, and sexy aide to a handsome Washington lobbyist named John Duke. For the last two years, she’s also been his lover. It’s an open secret that his glamorous and social-climbing wife, Catherine, tolerates—to a point. 
     
    After the President nominates Duke for a cabinet post, Catherine sees her opportunity and delivers an ultimatum: either fire Pam or get ready for a very public, very ugly divorce. Duke’s sharply honed political instincts tell him exactly what he needs to do. In one abrupt, brutal meeting, Duke ends the relationship and fires her from the job she loves. But Pam is not about to go quietly: A powerful New York publisher is offering her big money for what could be the ultimate Washington tell-all. But when people around her begin dying, Pam realizes that finishing the book may be a matter of life and death—her own.

    My name is Nora Black. I'm fifty-six years old, and I'm having the midlife adventure of my life. 
     
     
     
    I'm all set for the ultimate winter escape: an adults-only cruise with my sweetheart Ezra, and my best friends Gilly and Pippa, along with their husbands. We are ready to hit the high seas for sun, fun, and definitely no crime-solving. The plan is simple . . . cocktails, sunsets, and endless laughter. 
     
     
     
    But you know what they say about the best-laid plans . . . 
     
     
     
    When one of our tablemates ends up face down in the hydrotherapy pool, it's looking more and more likely his suspicious death will be declared an accidental drowning. 
     
     
     
    But my psychic nose says otherwise—this is murder. 
     
     
     
    Now, with the clock ticking before we reach foreign soil, I'll have to use my aroma mojo to sniff out the truth. It looks like it's up to us to unravel the mystery before the killer gets away with murder. 
     
     
     
    So much for smooth sailing!
