Ian Kelly Thrillers

Secrets lie at the bottom of North Tenmile Lake, Oregon. Ian Kelly rents a cottage on the water to pull him and Samantha away from the heat. Now, he's hearing rumors that his landlord, Walter Ponce, may have chained a man to the riverbed. That's alright because Ian is sure Walter Ponce has heard some rumors too about a mysterious family involved in a gangland shootout only months ago. Still, Oregon should have been a nice place for Ian to retire if the CIA didn't come knocking. And with them, a young assassin who botched a job in the city. Needs to lay low with Ian. Sure, if it means Ian can stay off the books for a while. But Ian's employers aren't the only ones who followed his trail north. Plunge into an experience brimming with three-dimensional characters, each with real-world problems (and secrets). What you get is an assassin thriller that's as much about living as it is about killing. And an adventure that's as deeply unsettling as it is utterly addictive.

Blood has always flown easily for Ian Kelly. He's spent a double life as part of a secret government program. Plucked from the foster care system at a young age for exhibiting a rare personality profile, he was trained to kill and then set loose on enemies of the free world. These days, blood is thicker. With two grown kids old enough to be asking too many questions, Ian travels the globe on official murder business. But Ian tells himself just one more mission because world peace means someone has to kill the killers. His latest assignment has him sent to Dubai to investigate a wealthy playboy who the CIA thinks is dealing weapons. Back home, his son Brandon has taken his mother's murder investigation into his own hands. The police chalked it up to an incidental slaying from gangland crossfire. But there's something odd about the lack of news coverage and haphazard homicide report. Ian is deep into his mission when he catches word of his son's sleuthing, putting him on a clock to eliminate his target and race home before Brandon follows a trail that could lead him to his father's true identity or, worse, the cartels. Dexter meets The Gray Man in this pulse-pounding thriller, perfect for fans of Coben, Child, and Greaney.
