********

I was the guy who always found a way.
I was the guy that couldn't be stopped.

A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. An overlooked rookie cop is assigned to the department's file room.

A ruthless killer only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he's outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection.

. .

Meticulously plotted and utterly compelling, these are intimate portraits of humanity at its best and worst. Each story is entirely distinct.

And with their economical prose and unexpected twists, each could only have been written by the creator of Jack Reacher.
