The Adam Black Thrillers Books One to Three - Unleashed Violation and Venomous

Karl Hill

Sinossi

Together in one collection: the first three adventures of an ex-SAS captain turned lawyer who administers his own brand of justice.

Unleashed

Adam Black, an ex SAS Captain, is randomly attacked while out for his nightly jog in the quiet Scottish village of Eaglesham. But Black does not take the ambush lying down and while defending himself kills two of the three attackers.

Although the police decide not to press charges against Black, the men who assaulted him have links to a vicious criminal, Peter Grant. Swearing revenge, Grant begins a campaign of terror against Black, his wife and daughter. Black refuses to be intimidated. But at what cost?

Violation

When Adam Black learns he is the sole beneficiary of a stranger’s will, he feels compelled to investigate. But to uncover the truth, Black will travel a violent and treacherous path. A path which leads to devastating consequences.

To endure this challenge, Black must once again resort to the skill he is an expert in; killing for survival. But will Black make it back in one piece or will it result in his undoing?

Venomous

Black must infiltrate one of Scotland’s hardest prisons to uncover crucial information from a psychopath nicknamed the Red Serpent. He may know the whereabouts of a recently abducted young woman. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking.

When Black is betrayed, he’s forced to escape the prison to find the woman and the identity of her abductor. But can Black rescue the woman and stop a deranged psychopath? And will he make it out of this alive?

Black knows one thing for sure: there will be bloodshed.

The Adam Black Series is the perfect read for fans of authors like Mark Dawson, James Deegan, and Rob Sinclair.
