“Presents a new portrait of the intelligent spy--a must for readers of Le Carre, Ludlum, Forsyth, and Herron” Prakash Nair, author of The Hidden Observer
Who is Jonathan Burke? A man shaped by violence, duty, and conspiracy. Taught as a young boy to hunt and to kill, he quickly rises through the ranks as a British commando sniper to join MI6 as their most deadly and effective assassin against Europe’s underworld. Burke’s covert life is founded on precision and control, posing a constant struggle with his personal life and attempts to define himself.
As his missions take him to Barcelona, Lyon, and Gstaad to Washington and London’s Mayfair district, he becomes the target of a conspiracy from an unsuspected source. His successes mount, but the conspiracy continues to close in—he is the prey of an unknown hunter. When official channels thwart a key operation to take down an international money-laundering ring, Burke is forced to go rogue. The further he proceeds, the more personal the mission becomes and the closer he comes to discovering the shocking identity of his enemy—at a life-threatening cost.
Jonathan Burke is more than an espionage tale—it’s a study of identity, morality, and the human cost of secrecy.

“…ending is thrilling and totally unsuspected… delivers everything an espionage aficionado could hope for—and more.” Amazon reviewer
“Espionage thriller fans will love Jonathan Burke--a fascinatingly complex character: trained from youth to kill with precision, yet constantly seeking traces of a normal life amid the chaos of covert missions. The author paints him not as a caricatured agent but as a deeply human figure—intelligent, flawed, and haunted by the moral weight of his profession. You should put it at the top of your “must read” book list.” Amazon Reviewer
