Hunter Kade is a man the system trained to erase.
A former Recon Marine turned covert government operator, Kade spent his life in the shadows-black sites, classified extractions, operations that officially never happened. He was built for silence, survival, and obedience. Ask no questions. Leave no trace. Disappear when told.
Then the woman he loved was murdered.
What should have been a routine investigation collapses almost immediately. Evidence vanishes. Witnesses recant-surveillance footage glitches at the exact wrong moments. The case is quietly pushed toward closure, wrapped up with comforting lies meant to keep dangerous truths buried.
But Kade sees something others miss.
A pattern.
The same operational signature tied to her death has appeared before-on classified missions, erased files, and men who no longer officially exist. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: her murder wasn't random, and it wasn't a mistake. It was part of something larger. Something deliberate.
Someone wanted this to happen.
Now hunted by the very systems he once served, Kade turns his skills inward-against the machine that made him. Surveillance becomes a weapon. Old allies become liabilities. Every answer uncovers another layer of deception, and every step closer to the truth pulls him deeper into a web of betrayal designed to destroy him.
Because the people behind this don't just know how Kade operates.
They trained him.
As the line between hunter and hunted collapses, Kade must decide how far he's willing to go-and how many lines he's willing to cross-to uncover the truth. Loyalty, morality, and identity are stripped away one hard choice at a time, leaving only a question that refuses to die:
What happens when a man built for war turns his full attention on the system that created him?
Dark, gritty, and relentlessly paced, Hunter Kade is a modern thriller about loss, vengeance, and the cost of knowing too much. It's a story of grief sharpened into purpose, of a man who refuses to stay erased, and of a truth influential people will kill to protect.
They trained him to disappear.
They murdered the wrong woman.
Now he's hunting the truth.
