Publisher's Summary

Think The American Sniper meets The Godfather.

As Bob Burke’s 737 lands at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, he sees a man strangling a woman on a rooftop below. Whether or not anyone believes him, Bob Burke isn’t the kind of guy to let a thing like that rest. He knows what he saw, and it isn't going to end well for the men responsible. 

Mild-mannered and slight of build, this telecommunications company executive is easily dismissed as the "phone guy". But after four tours running "special operations" missions in Iraq and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, he's one of the most lethal killers the US government ever produced. 

His new combat zone might be a glittering high-rise office building, a suburban tract house, or a wooded Chicago Forest Preserve District park, but when the bodies start falling and a young woman needs help, The Ghost doesn’t hesitate. 

After all, they started it, and he intends to finish it. And if he does need a little backup, he knows just the guys to call down at Fort Bragg. After all, it wouldn't be fair to leave them out of the fun, would it? 

Looking for a good beach book or something to curl up with in front of the fire, this fast-moving conspiracy thriller is from the author of Burke’s Gamble, Burke’s War, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon, and Aim True, My Brothers, with over 500 Kindle five-star reviews. Enjoy!

disappointing

i was listening to this at same time as reading Brown's cold war novels. The latter are recommended, but not Burke's War which is predictable, another civilian - ex-military with all the skills main character. again murderers as hero with no legal consequences. The narrator does the worst job Ive come across of female character, and the main female is annoyingly immature. I won't be getting any more of the Burke series. Brown not alone in varying considerably in my enjoyment of their series - Matt Brolly, Gretta Mulrooney, L T Ryan even Robert Dugoni

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
