Silencer (Ryan)

CIA Black Ops agent John Smith is on his latest assignment in London. Little does he know-it'll also be his last. Barely surviving an attack on his life, Smith lays low for six months until he returns to the United States. His flight is strangely diverted to Philadelphia where he meets a mysterious man who already knows about his past and recruits him for a job. Needing a new identity, Smith becomes Michael Recker. He tries to prevent bad things happening to innocent people while also interacting with several crime factions who are battling for control over the city. All the while, Recker begins to plan his revenge on Agent 17, who is responsible for a heinous act that Recker will never forget.

After being ambushed, Recker goes missing for several days and is presumed dead. Once he returns, he seeks retribution on the men responsible and turns to an unlikely source to help him get his revenge. As he embarks on his plot for retribution, he must not only carefully navigate around Mia's growing feelings for him, but also his own feelings for her. While still not forgetting his main goal of helping the innocent, Recker also further cements his relationship with Tyrell by helping him with a family problem. Though he still keeps Mia at a distance, they can't help but become closer as Recker investigates the disappearance of one of her closest friends. As Recker embarks on his deadly rampage, Jones worries about The Silencer's growing reputation amongst the public and government agencies.

Recker finally reaches his boiling point and confronts Jones about his lack of progress in finding Agent 17. The professor, feeling guilty about not locating him, admits to a secret he's been hiding. As Recker is trying to find Agent 17, Mia launches her own investigation into her friend's death, frustrated that the killer still hasn't been brought to justice. Her lack of experience causes a major mistake--one that may cost the life of both her and Jones. Recker must not only find Agent 17, but save the lives of his friends before it's too late.

After the circumstances of Agent 17's death, the CIA turns to a specialist to help track down the man they think is responsible-John Smith. Though Recker knows Centurion is coming, he doesn't change how he operates and winds up on police surveillance cameras. Feeling the walls closing in, Jones wants to pack up and move to a new city, though Recker has reservations about leaving. It all boils down to a final confrontation between Recker and his former employers-one he may not survive.

After six months away in Detroit, Recker and Jones return their operation to Philadelphia. They're almost immediately thrown into trying to prevent a cop killing. They also come back to find things aren't quite the way they left them. One of the city's crime leaders tries to force Recker's hand, by using Mia as bait, in helping them take control of the city. Despite getting the cold shoulder from Mia initially upon his return, Recker works hard at freeing her from danger, taking her to the only place he knows she'll be safe. It leads to a violent conclusion, one that finds Recker working with the police by his side.

Recker and Jones go hunting to add a third member to the team. After an exhaustive search, Jones has finally found the perfect candidate. Former CIA Operative Chris Haley has been out of the game for a couple of years, but jumps at the chance to jump back into things as the new Silencer. As Recker and Haley start settling in with their new work dynamic, things don't go as smoothly as they have in the past. They get into a rough situation that leads to Recker getting put in handcuffs and taken away in a police car. Can Jones engineer Recker's release? Or will they once again become a two man team with only Jones and Haley?

Somebody is shooting police officers. After several killings, and no progress on finding the shooter by the police department, Recker is asked to lend a hand. One of Vincent's men inside the department, a homicide detective, reaches out to The Silencer, setting up a meeting through Vincent. As Recker, Haley, and Jones investigate the killings, they start to find more questions than answers, and realize that everything is not as cut and dried as it seems. Once the supposed killer is finally found, Recker thinks he may have been played. He's not so sure that it wasn't a plant and the man was framed. All of which leads him to question, if it's someone else behind the shootings, who has the power and motivation to pull it off? And why?

There's a new criminal element in town and they state their arrival by knocking off a few of Vincent's men. Recker and the team get drawn into the middle of it and start investigating to learn the identity of the mystery player. Recker and Haley get a tip about a high-level meeting of the new crew in an abandoned building, but all is not what it seems. Instead of a meeting, they run into Malloy, who's also there to investigate, and an otherwise empty building. It turns out to be an ambush, and only two of the three will escape uninjured. Will they find out who's responsible for the attack and bring them to their brand of justice? Or will the perpetrators slip out from under their fingers to cause more chaos and destruction?

After getting back from vacation, Recker finds himself with not much to do. With work in the city at an all-time low, Recker is approached by a familiar face. Michelle Lawson has a job for him in regards to an illegal arms dealer that has continuously given the CIA the slip. Feeling like he can trust her and work for the agency again for one job, Recker agrees to do the assignment once all his conditions are met. With Jones and Haley on board, the teams heads off to London to find their target. It's back to where everything started for Recker when the CIA initially tried to terminate him. But what they hope is a short-term assignment turns into a much longer stay, and with Mia having problems of her own at home, Recker turns to old friends in order to help him accomplish his mission and get home faster.

After getting back from London, Recker and the team are immediately swept up in Vincent and Nowak's feud again. Though they initially refuse in getting involved, their minds are changed when they start getting ambushed. Recker is ambushed in an alley while trying to prevent a jewelry store heist, Haley has his car blown up in trying to track down the suspects, and Tyrell's relationship with Recker is found out, leaving him in a vulnerable position. The team learns it's all part of Nowak's plan to rid the city of all of them, leading them into an eventual final confrontation with her. One that will be deadly.

Another menacing force has entered the city. The Tri-State Scorpions have migrated from New Jersey and are looking to make the city their own. Recker and the team have plans to stop them, but it will come at a cost. After one of the leaders of the Scorpions gets in a shootout with Haley, he is transported to a local hospital that Mia is working at. The Scorpions take over the hospital, causing it to go on lockdown. After receiving a troublesome text message that indicates Mia is in some type of danger, Recker must find a way to get into the hospital and save her... before it's too late.

With the events of the hospital still fresh in their minds, The Scorpions are regrouping and ready to wage war. With Recker being their main target, they'll do anything to lure him into their grasp, including taking his partner hostage. Will The Silencer get there in time to save his friend, or will Haley pay the price for his partner's sins?

Someone is after Mike Recker. After coming close with a drive-by shooting, Recker and the team try to figure out who is behind the operation, before they try again. As they uncover a name, they also discover his connections to Vincent's organization. Is Vincent secretly trying to finally take The Silencer out of the picture? Or is there someone else? Someone who may have a connection to Recker's past. Is it actually Vincent behind the plot? The CIA coming back to him? Or someone that Recker previously had a conflict with? Find out in this thrilling new edition of The Silencer Series.

Recker's weary, tired, and ready for a break. Believing that Recker might leave for an extended vacation, and instead of letting Haley fly solo for a while, Jones goes hunting to add another member to the team. He settles on a former CIA agent named Paxton Phillips. They are all hopeful that Phillips will blend into the group as easily as Haley once did. Unfortunately, they are not so lucky. Phillips does not necessarily share the same beliefs as the rest of the team, and he instantly clashes with Vincent's men. Could this be the last anyone sees of The Silencer? Will he return to guide the new team into a new era? Or, will he ride into the sunset, leaving Jones, Haley, and Phillips to settle into their new dynamic?

Recker's time away is cut short when tragedy hits the team. He comes back to find that someone is targeting them. The question is who? Is it a new enemy that they have to deal with? Or is it someone from their past, who has regrouped to try and get revenge for their prior skirmishes?

Haley finally gets back into the swing of things after recovering from his injuries. His first case back is one of international intrigue. An old friend comes to the team asking for help in tracking down a group of ex-MI6 agents who are now in the United States, looking to make a big score. Recker enlists the services of Vincent in tracking down the criminal gang, who have entered the country in three different cities, while also staying out of the CIA's crosshairs. Has the team finally met a group of men with skills as dangerous as theirs?

Jones finally has his number called. Someone from his past is gunning for him. What's really worrisome is that whoever it is, might have skills that even surpass Jones'. After finding out that their secret office isn't as secretive as they thought, the team has to assume that they're being watched, and listened to, at all times.Recker will have to call on old friends, and some new ones, in order to help find the identity of the person who's after his friend and partner. Can he accomplish that before Jones is eliminated?

Jones intercepts a message from someone reaching out for Haley for assistance. The Silencers split up temporarily, with Haley out of town and helping someone from his past. Recker is left to deal with an impending threat from someone he is all too familiar with, who is once again upping his efforts to gain more control of the city. With the help of Malloy, Recker will meet this growing menace head-on as Vincent's grip of the city starts to loosen.

It's a normal day for The Silencer team. On a routine mission, though, things are about to get strange. Recker locks eyes with a foreign agent he crossed paths with years ago. The only problem is the man is supposed to be dead. And Recker was the one that killed him. Is he seeing a lookalike? Or is he really seeing the ghost of a man he thought he once killed?

After a string of diamond robberies rock the area, it finally catches the attention of the Silencer team. Though their initial efforts don't reveal who the culprits are, they soon are given a list of names of the most probable suspects. Will they be able to find the people responsible before they hit again? One thing's for sure… it won't be as easy as it appears. As they check out the names at the top of the list, their investigation takes several twists and turns that they don't expect.

A security guard at Mia's hospital has gone missing. She brings in Recker and the team to help investigate what happened, and they quickly realize there is a lot more to this case. They soon learn the guard is just one of many who have gone missing, all being found under the same conditions. And their findings will take them straight into the arms of a serial killer, who's got a long list of targets. How many will lose their lives before the Silencer team can find their suspect?

One of Vincent's men is found with the names of Recker and Haley in his pocket. After a brief investigation, it's discovered that the man has taken dozens of pictures of them, along with Vincent, Malloy, Mia, and Cheryl. Before they even realize what's going on, several dead bodies connected to the man appear.As they investigate, they learn of a group of rogue police officers who appear to be involved somehow. But who are they after? Recker? Or Vincent? Someone from the past is going to use these pictures to get one to turn on the other. And it's a race against time to figure it out, before the pictures get released, effectively destroying the lives and careers of Mia and Cheryl, and before one of Recker or Vincent has to kill the other.
