Looking in the mirror, he saw only death…
Pursued by one of the world’s most efficient and ruthless assassins, former Marine sniper turned musician Nicholas Sharp almost admires the deadly operator’s meticulous talents, that is until he starts coming after Sharp through his friends. Sharp’s investigations reveal that the killer also has another target in sight: the US Secretary of Defense.
Is there a dark connection?
Face to face with a past he’d considered banished from his memory, Nicholas Sharp questions not only his own moral compass but also his diminishing chance of survival.
Somewhere between Ludlum’s Jason Bourne and Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Nicholas Sharp may be a flawed and reluctant hero, but you sure as hell want him on your side.
COUNTERPOINT is a great introduction to both the Nicholas Sharp and Lachlan Byrn Thrillers.
What Amazon readers are saying about the Nicholas Sharp Series:
“Wow!! I simply just kept reading, I was hooked pretty much from the start, and can't wait to read more.”
“I love Lee Child and now have another author who is just as good.”
“Emotions run high, as does the suspense.”
"I really enjoyed the sniper-musician-reluctant warrior character."
"Without a doubt, this is a cracking novel... the story keeps at you in leaps and bounds! Full of action all the way. Just brilliant!"
"A clever mix of two totally different worlds."
"Kicks you out of the park from the first word."
