Deadly Intent
The more things change, the more he stays the same!
A couple of years have passed since Pennsylvania, and Adrian is living the quiet life in the small town of Devil's Spring, Texas. He owns a bar, and no one there knows who he used to be. He's retired, and he's happy.
The world is a different place, too. A new president has made radical changes, ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.
Then, three strangers walk into his bar and ask for Adrian Hell, which starts a chain of events that sees the former assassin pick up his guns once more, to help old friends combat a new enemy. A terrorist organization is plotting an elaborate scheme to hold the world to ransom, and Adrian's found himself caught in the middle.
Against insurmountable odds, and in many people's crosshairs, Adrian reluctantly goes back to doing what he does best. This action epic sees him travel the country, and the world, fighting an impossible enemy, while facing ghosts from his past. Packed with action, drama, and humor, this new Adrian Hell thriller is a must-read!

James P. Sumner
James P. Sumner began writing in the summer of 2013, finally feeling ready to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a published author. He worked tirelessly to learn the business as well as the craft, and eventually self-published his debut novel, True Conviction, in February 2014. It was very well received, which spurred him on to continue his Adrian Hell series, which has now been downloaded over half a million times, with each entry topping the Amazon charts.
His Adrian Hell character has become a popular figure in the thriller genre, mainly due to Sumner’s style of writing, which puts the reader inside the head of the charismatic assassin, so they experience his thoughts and see what he sees in real time — something you rarely see in mainstream thriller fiction.
In 2015, his fifth novel, A Necessary Kill, was selected as the winner of Amazon’s Kindle Scout program, and was subsequently published by Kindle Press. It quickly became his most successful novel, and was briefly the most downloaded e-book in the world. This changed his life and his career as an author, allowing him to make the switch from part-time to full-time. Then, in 2017, Sumner was the recipient of two ATAI awards for his seventh Adrian Hell novel, Thicker Than Blood, which picked up the Best Thriller and Best General Fiction accolades.
