A True Kill
An FBI agent risks it all to stop a far-reaching conspiracy in a propulsive thriller by Steven Konkoly, the USA Today bestselling author of A Hired Kill.
FBI agent Garrett Mann is running out of time. His task force, ARTEMIS, is on the verge of disbandment, but he’s uncovered a sinister plot that could swing the upcoming presidential election. With a trail leading from Washington, DC, to rural Montana and finally to Tampa, Florida, Mann assembles a team of misfits and black-ops specialists to take on a shadowy conspiracy involving the CIA, a covert government contractor, and a third-party political movement.
As a hurricane bears down on Florida, Mann and his team launch a desperate raid on a yacht hiding secrets that could destroy everything. With the clock ticking and enemies closing in from all sides, they must secure crucial evidence before it’s too late. In this heart-pounding finale to the Garrett Mann series, the stakes have never been higher, and the cost of failure could be the very future of the nation itself.

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.
