Sins of The Assassin: A John Ryder Thriller featuring Task Force Lazarus

By Sam Whitfield

He's faced terrorists, traitors, and death itself. Now John Ryder faces the most dangerous enemy of all-his own past.

When a high-level intelligence official is nearly assassinated in the heart of New York, Navy SEAL-turned-black ops operative John Ryder is pulled back into a war he thought he left behind. The attack bears the signature of The Fourth Estate, a ruthless shadow organization manipulating governments, wars, and economies from the shadows. But the deeper Ryder digs, the more personal the mission becomes.

Because the assassin isn't just another killer-he's Mike Mitchell, Ryder's former SEAL brother, long thought dead in a failed raid overseas. Revived, enhanced, and brainwashed, Mike is now the Fourth Estate's deadliest weapon. And he wants Ryder dead.

As Ryder races across Germany, Colorado, and Washington D.C., unraveling a conspiracy that spans continents and decades, he begins to realize the stakes are higher than ever. A bioweapon codenamed Tulip is poised to unleash hell on American soil, and time is running out.

To stop a global catastrophe, Ryder will have to confront ghosts, lies, and the painful truth about a father he barely knew-and a brother who may be beyond saving.

Explosive, relentless, and deeply human, Sins of the Assassin is a high-octane thriller about loyalty, sacrifice, and the cost of uncovering the truth.
