"This new series has me very excited." —Brad Thor As
the brutal Russian mafia becomes the most powerful and deadly criminal
enterprise in the U.S., it’s up to covert operative Rob Tacoma to fight
back, in a new series by New York Times bestseller Ben Coes.Ruthless,
clever, and unbelievably violent, the Russian mafia has rapidly taken
over the criminal underworld in the U.S. and law enforcement has been
unable to stem the tide. When a powerful Russian mob family declares war
by publicly executing two high-profile American politicians, the
message is unmistakable – opposition will be met with overwhelming
deadly force. With no other viable options, the President creates a
clandestine assassinations team to find and eliminate the unreachable
men running this deadly criminal operation.The CIA recruits two
Tier 1 operators – former Navy SEALs Billy Cosgrove and Rob Tacoma. But
before they can even get started, the Russians act – murdering Cosgrove
in his own home. Now Tacoma is on his own against an organization with
endless resources and no boundaries. Step one requires the near
impossible - find and kill the hidden mob boss behind Cosgrove’s death.
To do this, he’ll have to take on an army in a battle where there are no
rules and no limits. *Review"Think Clear and Present Danger meets John Wick . . . Ben Coes brings the heat with The Russian,
a no-rules, no-limits, punch-to-the-gut of a thriller that takes a
blowtorch to the competition and will leave readers begging for a
follow-up." —The Real Book Spy"Authentic
tradecraft and top-notch action scenes propel the plot. Coes continues
to more than hold his own in a crowded thriller field." —Publishers Weekly
