122 Rules - Mafiya: A Sam Bradford Federal Assassin Thriller Book 3
Some bodies refuse to stay buried.
After putting down one of the world's most brutal serial killers, covert operative Sam Bradford trades his gun for a surfboard and a shot at peace in Alabaster Cove, California. He's done with the business of death.
Unfortunately, it isn't done with him.
The murder of an undercover detective—a fellow Marine—drags Sam back into the shadows. His new Polly Cahill, an ex-cop turned paramedic who is every bit as lethal as she is unpredictable, and whose secrets run deeper than Sam's cover stories.
Together they're going up against the Russian Mafiya. But as the bodies pile up and loyalties fracture, Sam uncovers something worse than organized crime—evidence that the empire tightening its grip on America may be backed by the very agency he once served.
Isolated, hunted, and unsure who to trust, Sam and Polly are in a war where justice is for sale and the truth gets you killed.
Razor-sharp, relentlessly tense, and packed with explosive twists, 122 Mafiya is a propulsive thriller for fans of Vince Flynn, Gregg Hurwitz, and Lee Child.

About the author
Deek Rhew
13 books102 followersDeek Rhew writes thrillers where psychology is the weapon and human nature decides who survives.
A lifelong traveler with an insatiable curiosity about what makes people tick, Deek draws inspiration from years spent exploring the world with his bride, Erin Rhew. Different cultures, unfamiliar terrain, and quiet moments of observation become fuel for stories rooted in motive, fear, and the choices people make under pressure.
Fueled by dark coffee and a fascination with the human psyche, Deek’s work asks: when pressure, circumstance, and perception strip away reason and logic, does anyone truly have limits? This obsession drives the 122 Rules series, where psychological principles predict behavior and operatives like Sam Bradford and Polly Cahill survive by manipulating others into choices that betray their own morals, even when the consequences are fatal.
Deek’s father, a proud Air Force veteran, taught him commitment, discipline, and sacrifice. These threads are woven throughout Deek’s life’s work. His career in software sharpened his understanding of technology and the unintended consequences of its misuse, themes that echo through his speculative fiction, where the fall of civilization feels less like imagination and more like an early warning.
When he’s not writing, Deek is usually adventuring with Erin, scouting the next horizon, or debating human behavior and motives over cups of strong coffee.

Sam and his alter ego, Chet are called out of a life of ease living the surfer life. Called into action, he and sexy but lethal Polly Cahill are drawn into a world of dangerous twists. This is another exciting and thrilling chapter in the 122 Rules Series. I heartily recommend it.
