An assassin thriller that sends the world’s most unorthodox killer after the one target no government dares to touch. High-octane international action with black-ops politics, a morally fractured antihero and brinkmanship that stretches across continents.
Assassin. Vigilante. Serial Killer.
Vadim Aleyev, President of the Russian Federation, is out of control. He's pushing his country, his people and the world to the brink of a catastrophic war. Around the globe, leaders are worried, yet no one seems prepared to act.
Then one nation unleashes its most fearsome weapon: Lachlan Byrn.
Byrn has a passion for his work that goes far beyond the rules of engagement. He gets up close and personal with his victims… very close, very personal. And he's exceptionally good at what he does.
The mission is unthinkable, the odds are absurd, and Byrn’s grip on his own sanity was never firm to begin with. One man now stands between the world and the war nobody can win.
Die as You Kill is the first book in the Lachlan Byrn thriller series, for readers who love elite assassins, geopolitical brinkmanship, antiheroes with a code and non-stop international action. Perfect for fans of Mark Greaney, Lee Child and Tom Clancy.
