They thought John Beckett would be an easy target. They thought wrong.
Deep undercover as the right-hand man to a ruthless crime lord, British Secret Service officer John Beckett’s mission is blown when a dangerous data leak exposes his identity. Now a marked man, Beckett is on the run—but his enemies have made it personal by kidnapping his niece, Amber.
In a world without trust, survival means risking everything.
Darkness on the Edge of Town is a pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child, and Robert Ludlum. Dive into Matthew Hattersley’s gripping John Beckett Series, where loyalty comes at a high price, and the next move could be your last.
