Perfect for you if...

  • You love tactical thrillers where the protagonist has legitimate military chops and uses them methodically against overwhelming odds.
  • You want smart action sequences built on real tradecraft, not Hollywood improvisation.
  • You're looking for a series starter that respects your intelligence and delivers consistent, high-octane plotting.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character development and emotional depth to strategic problem-solving and tactical excellence.
  • You're squeamish about graphic violence or detailed descriptions of weapons and military operations.
  • You want a standalone novel rather than committing to a series.

About this book

When Bob Burke witnesses a rooftop execution in Chicago, the mob mistakes him for an ordinary civilian. In reality, he is a former Delta Force commander who conducted black-ops missions for the Pentagon. Known as The Ghost during his time in Afghanistan, Burke has returned home. After a chance encounter with a frightened woman at an airport, Burke decides to act. He assembles his former Delta team: Ace, his top NCO; Chester, an explosives expert; Koz, a skilled sniper; and the Geeks, elite hackers. Together, they take on a criminal organization that controls local law enforcement and the judicial system while laundering millions and expanding operations. Burke and his team employ asymmetric warfare tactics across Chicago, from Lake Shore Drive penthouses to suburban warehouses. They use the mob's own surveillance systems against them and apply overwhelming force to dismantle what the organization believes is an untouchable empire. This is the first book in the Bob Burke action-thriller series.
