The Hangman

By Max Sinclair

I read this book as fast as possible, very difficult to stop reading each chapter. Highly recommend.' - Goodreads reviewer
An action-packed and utterly gripping, globetrotting thriller - for fans of I AM PILGRIM by Terry Hayes, NOMAD by James Swallow, Mark Dawson's THE CLEANER, and THE DECEIVERS by Alex Berenson.
Rule number one in the world of espionage: never trust the man pulling the strings.
But Barrett Johnson has always trusted his instincts over the rules.
When the CIA recruits him to track down a terrorist mastermind, Barrett is thrown into a dangerous game of deception and betrayal. His target? Sam Saxon, a merciless Basque rebel known as The Hangman, who has gone rogue, orchestrating a plan that could alter the course of history.
As Barrett dives deeper into the hunt, he uncovers chilling clues about a conspiracy that leads straight to the heart of Al-Qaeda. The mission is clear: stop The Hangman before he delivers a deadly gift to Osama bin Laden and sets the stage for 9/11.
But nothing is ever simple. The closer Barrett gets, the more he realizes the enemy isn't just one man--it's an entire network of shadows where every step could be his last.
With time running out, Barrett must risk everything to stop the unthinkable.
In a world where loyalty is fleeting, and the truth is the deadliest weapon, the question remains: who will survive The Hangman's final noose?
Set just after the turn of the millennium, Max Sinclair takes readers on a gripping ride through the events leading up to a devastating blow to the United States.
