A Mysterious Disappearance

Sinossi

Fun book to read, with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Wealthy, titled, and popular, a London society woman vanishes without a trace, and all trails lead back to a mystery man and a beautiful woman. Family friend Claude Bruce, the last to see her, is haunted by her disappearance, and can't let it go.
Bruce investigates the mystery in cooperation with (and sometimes at odds with) Inspector White of Scotland Yard--often the butt of comic relief.

Ghost Unit (A Cyrus Drake Action...

Jack Mars

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

GHOST UNIT (Book #1) is the first 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).

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 UNIT (Book #1), when a Navy SEAL is found dead in a Manila alley with no mission on record, Drake and Phoebe are pulled into a city where the line between hero and victim is razor thin. What looks like a sordid secret quickly explodes into something far more dangerous — and bringing the killer to justice means taking on an entire syndicate that doesn't leave witnesses.

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!
