Lethal people
by John Locke
Donovan Creed is a man built for the shadows, a government assassin who operates with ruthless efficiency and a chilling lack of remorse.

The reading experience is intensely suspenseful and relentlessly action-packed, pulling you into a dark, high-stakes game where loyalty is fluid and secrets can be deadly. If you appreciate thrillers that don't shy away from complex characters and emotional gut-punches, and you're ready for a protagonist who lives by his own code, this book will grab you from the first page and won't let go.
