Sometimes the past doesn't stay buried...

A Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system takes down a passenger jetliner in the skies over Belarus, showering the fields below in burning scrap. As the world begins to mourn the horrific accident, one man—new CIA director, George Lawrence—knows it is anything but.

Three hundred innocents were sacrificed in order to snuff out the life of one man: Professor Alexey Sokolov, a senior adviser to the Russian government. As well as a CIA asset recruited by a ghost known as the Hangman...

Trapp doesn't know any of this. He's hundreds of miles away in rural Tuscany with Eliza Ikeda, and on a mission of his own: recovery. Both are hurting, but this is their chance at a real life. Together.

But it doesn't take long for trouble to arrive at their door. He should have known that his past wouldn't let go that easily. The question is: why did Sokolov run? How did the Russians discover who he truly was—and what secret could possibly justify the murder of three hundred innocent men, women and children to cover up?

Trapp doesn't want to know. But he sure as hell intends to find out...

Fans of Ryan, Reacher and Bourne will love betrayed CIA operative Jason Trapp, who stars in a pulse-pounding revenge thriller that threatens to be 2019's breakout hit.

The first book the hangman was a total badass. The second at least to me he stated to slip and in this one he seemed to take another step back and it was more talk about who is than actual action. I felt he took a backseat to his new partner, but I still enjoyed it and will check out the next book. My final thought to the author would be to reread the first book against. It’s ok to show his human side and add a love interest, but don’t change him too much more and keep him the main character please.

Seems Hangman is getting softer and slower

it was still an enjoyable book, although I couldn't seem to follow what the objective was to the book. the relationships within the story I enjoyed watching develop. character development was good. I just found myself not always understanding what their objective was. It's not as good as the 1st 2 books, but I will continue.

I lost track of the objective.

Loved the high drama quality and the amazing ways Jason meets all challenges successfully. Plus it’s great that he has a girlfriend!!

The fascinating plot!

Nice balance of detail, exposition, character development, and relevance. But for pete's sake, it's "in-EX-orable" not "in-ex-OR-able."

Engaging characters.

A fun listen for the work commute.
My only issue is the occasional mispronunciation of some words: inexorable and wan (conflagration in the last book, although the reader for it right in this one). Seems like that would be a no-brainer to check and fix.

Entertaining

Love the story. Why’d you have to say “clip” so many times!!! The story is good enough for me not to care though!

Great

Great tempo, clarity, action pace, character development. No over acting or breathy speech or all that other mess.

Really enjoy this series

This is the third book in this series and so far I have really enjoyed it. For me, this book was not my favorite, in fact, I think that I liked this book the least out of the three books so far. That is not to say that it wasn't good, and it didn't hold my interest, because it did ad it was. There was just something missing that I could not put my finger on.

I am normally intrigued and hooked and eager to continue reading/listening to be able to find out what is happening. In this book, I found myself putting it down to do other thing as and then making myself pick it back up. Granted, there were a lot of other things going on in real life at the time so that may have also contributed to this - in fact, it probably did.

The plot centered around a Russian asset for the CIA that Jason has recruited many years ago -Professor Alexey Sokolov. He is, of course, not running assets anymore but gets a text out of the blue from this asset. To top things off, a British airplane is shot down out of the sky by the Russians and it is soon discovered that his asset was on the plane. Was it intentional? Were they willing to shoot down a commercial plane with hundreds of innocents on it just to kill one man and stop him from defecting to the West? No one is sure at the moment but it is looking probable.

Then, he is attacked at the safe house that he and Eliza Ikeda are recuperating from the last assignment that almost killed both of them in North Korea. Not willing to take any chances, the two go on the run, while trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

As usual, the drama is non stop and action packed. The story kept me interested once the book progressed past the first 30% or so. Will I continue with this series? Absolutely!

Jason and Eliza are forced on the run...again:)
