A Hired Kill
A serial killer draws an FBI agent into an explosive government conspiracy in a white-knuckle thriller by Steven Konkoly, the USA Today bestselling author of A Clean Kill.
After FBI special agent Garrett Mann executes a deadly raid on an underground facility in New Mexico, the sole survivor’s testimony reveals a greater threat to come.
The covert lair was a training ground for hundreds of cartel sicarios, who have since disappeared into the US, their ultimate mission still unknown. When another FBI raid goes catastrophically wrong, Mann finds himself on the trail of the Bureau’s original target—a moonlighting serial killer who leads the agent into a nightmare that’s darker and more extensive than Mann ever feared.
As Mann and his team hunt their fugitive, they find he could have deep ties to powerful government officials. But even as the list of people Mann trusts grows smaller, he must find the killer and blow the heart of this conspiracy wide open before more lives are lost.

Steven Konkoly
Before Steven Konkoly ever crafted his first tightly-wound thriller, he was navigating real-world tension aboard naval ships and behind the scenes of military intelligence. His background as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and intelligence officer didn’t just inform his fiction—it gave it teeth. The kind that bite with precision, pacing, and a steady pulse of dread that lingers long after the mission ends.
Konkoly’s novels, whether they delve into the shadowy corridors of covert government operations or the chilling realism of societal collapse, are rooted in a rare kind of authenticity. His thrillers don’t just move fast—they move smart. Characters operate in murky moral waters, facing decisions where the right answer isn’t always clear, and trust is as dangerous as any weapon. From The Black Flagged series to The Perseid Collapse, his work examines what happens when systems fail and people are forced to navigate the fallout with little more than instinct and grit.

In a world where trust is scarce and danger lurks behind every shadow, the Garrett Mann series cuts through the chaos with relentless intensity.
