    FBI Agent Ella Dark, 29, is given her big chance to achieve her life’s dream: to join the Behavorial Crimes Unit.

Singled out for her brilliant mind, Ella is invited to join the big leagues.

She must learn to trust her instinct, and allow herself to enter the dark canals of a real killer’s mind. If she gets it wrong, her career is at stake. And so is the next victim’s life. Will Ella’s talent be an asset? Or the source of her downfall?
    
    In GIRL, TAKEN (Book #2), Victims are being found murdered in the Pacific Northwest, their bodies strung up high in the branches of Redwood trees. It is presumed to be the work of a serial killer dubbed “The Artist Killer.” Ella feels so close to catching him, feels certain she has read of similar murders—but this time, her knowledge fails her. Can she catch a killer without her talent? Or will it return to her too late?

    Book #3 in the SpoCompton crime series! 
    George “Mase” Masaryk knows about secrets. He has a few of his own, including the reason he left the police department. The son of Czechoslovak hippies, his life has been a strange journey from rebel to cop to private investigator. 
    It is a path his parents would never have chosen for him. 
    One full of secrets and regrets. 
    He is mulling over those secrets when businessman Andrew McDonough sits down next to him at the bar and the pair start drinking heavily. McDonough eventually asks Mase to help him with some “women problems.” It is a request Mase doesn’t even remember the next day, only recalling the foggy memory when Faye McDonough, Andrew’s wife, shows up at his office to hire him almost a week later. 
    Faye wants him to find McDonough, who is now missing. She doesn’t know if he’s run off with a lover, been kidnapped, or is dead somewhere, but expects Mase to find out. As he delves into the twisting secrets that surround Andrew McDonough, Mase encounters more questions than answers. All the questions are dangerous ones and if he’s going to survive to learn the truth, he needs to figure out that one fact that will make all of the pieces fall into place…

    --Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    GHOST TRIGGER (Book #3) is the third book in an exhilarating new thriller series that blends mystery and action, from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with GHOST UNIT (Book #1).
    
    When the FBI creates an elite team to investigate murder mysteries in military hotspots, there is only one man for the job: retiring Marine sniper Cyrus Drake. Partnered with brilliant FBI Agent Phoebe Colt, Drake must complement her investigative genius with his tactical skills—and together, they will solve mysteries and hunt down killers in the world’s most dangerous and action-packed places.
    
    In GHOST TRIGGER (Book #3), when a decorated Army Ranger is found robbed and murdered on the outskirts of Amman, Cyrus Drake and Phoebe Colt quickly discover the killing had nothing to do with his wallet — and everything to do with a secret that could unleash terror on Western targets. Racing into the Syrian borderlands alongside Jordanian special forces, they must dismantle the operation before any strikes can be launched — and expose the well-connected financier pulling the strings.
    
    The Cyrus Drake combines the best of a murder mystery series with the best of a military action thriller, delivering relentless action and sharp tension from the first shot fired to the final, stunning reveal. It is a series that won’t allow you to catch your breath until the last page. Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Lee Child, and James Patterson.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
