Hard Kill
A senior American security adviser is missing, presumed kidnapped for his top-level military intelligence. FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein needs to track him down before classified information gets into the wrong hands. She needs Jon Reznick on board.
The former black-ops assassin is supposed to be on vacation with his daughter, but when Meyerstein calls, it doesn’t pay to keep her waiting. Her elite team is convinced that the missing diplomat’s expertise in the Persian Gulf points to an Iranian terrorist cell, but Reznick isn’t so sure. His gut instinct tells him they’re all wrong. Never one to play by the rules, he finds himself working alone, following a lead that everyone else has dismissed. But to Reznick, the suspect seems a little too clean…
When the team comes under attack, the kidnapping is exposed as part of a much wider conspiracy, one far more dangerous than Meyerstein feared. Nothing and nobody is safe—and only Jon Reznick stands between national security and a campaign of unprecedented terror.

J. B. Turner
In the murky underworld of covert operations and political corruption, J.B. Turner carves out a space where nothing is as it seems—and no one ever walks away clean. With more than three million copies sold worldwide, Turner has become a steady force in modern thriller fiction, crafting taut, emotionally charged narratives that blend explosive action with unnerving psychological depth.
Before he turned to fiction, Turner worked as a journalist—a detail that lingers in his writing like smoke after gunfire. His stories pulse with an insider’s understanding of power, media, and the machinery of modern politics. This sharp, investigative eye became the backbone of his breakout Jon Reznick series, a collection of fast-paced thrillers featuring a former black-ops specialist haunted by loss and driven by an uncompromising sense of justice. Whether tracking terrorists across international borders or unearthing deep-state secrets, Reznick isn’t the kind of hero who plays by the rules—but he’s exactly the one you want when things fall apart.
