If you come after the CIA’s most feared assassin, there’s one cardinal rule: Don’t miss.

America is under attack. Thousands lie dead after simultaneous strikes across the country. The day will come to be known as Bloody Monday.

Jason Trapp, codename ‘Hangman’, was a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost.

Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything—and everyone—he held dear.

But Trapp’s not that easy to kill. As his country reels from the deadliest terrorist attacks it has ever witnessed, Trapp’s personal vendetta leads him right back to where he started: duty to his country. The violence, the terror, the assassination of his partner… It’s all connected.

And now the Hangman is coming for the guilty.

Slater’s journey into writing started not with a desire for fame, but a deep curiosity about the world of espionage and covert operations. His debut novel, Dark State, introduced the world to Jason Trapp, a CIA operative whose dangerous, high-stakes missions make James Bond look like an amateur. But it’s not just action that makes Slater’s books stand out — it’s the layered characters, intricate world-building, and the relentless tension that pushes every story forward. Readers flock to his books not just for the thrills but for the authentic, nuanced portrayal of the world’s most shadowy corners.

Building on his success with the Jason Trapp series, Slater expanded his universe with new characters like Gideon Ryker and Blake Larsen, each exploring different aspects of international intrigue and danger. His novels are a favorite of fans of authors like Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy, offering a perfect blend of action, intelligence, and complex moral dilemmas.

When he’s not writing, Slater is an avid hiker, skier, and proud dog owner. His adventures in the great outdoors inform the relentless pacing of his books, where every chase feels like it could spill into real life at any moment. Slater is also an active presence on social media, where he connects with readers and shares a peek into the mind behind the thrilling stories.

Jack Slater’s books are more than just fast-paced spy thrillers; they are reflections of our modern world, where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred, and survival is a game of wit and will.
