The Devil's Bargain: A Jack Noble Thriller
Everyone has a price. Jack's about to learn his.Six months ago, Jack Noble's face appeared on every news channel in the world.
Now he's a ghost with nowhere left to hide. Three foreign intelligence services want him dead. Two criminal organizations have a bounty on his head. The families of men he killed years ago are closing in. For the first time in twenty years, Jack has run out of options.
Then the CIA makes an offer he can't refuse.
Complete immunity. A new identity. A future for the people he loves. All he has to do is one final mission—assassinate the newly elected president of a NATO ally. A man the Agency claims is a Russian asset positioned to destroy the Western alliance.
No trial. No evidence. Just Jack's bullet and his word against theirs.
But something doesn't add up. The target doesn't act like a traitor. The security around him seems designed to fail. And the deeper Jack digs, the more he realizes he's not just the hunter.
He might be the hunted.
With the clock ticking down and a woman from his past racing to uncover secrets buried in the darkest corners of Langley, Jack faces an impossible choice. Trust the people who've given him everything to lose—or trust the instincts that have kept him alive for twenty years.
Some deals with the devil come due.
And Jack Noble is about to learn the real price of survival.
The Devil's Bargain is a pulse-pounding thriller about impossible choices, institutional betrayal, and the price of survival. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor.
