The Removal

A black van. Men in tactical gear. A violent arrest that doesn't look quite right.

When ex-military bodyguard Ryan Lock witnesses an ICE raid near his office in Los Angeles, his trained eye catches details others would miss. The inside of the vehicle is wrong. The procedures are off. And the man being dragged away is screaming something in Spanish that makes Lock's blood run cold.

One question too many makes Lock a target.

Now someone wants him to stop digging. They've frozen his accounts. They've threatened his family. They've made it walk away or disappear.

But Lock has never been good at walking away.

In a city where immigration raids are a daily occurrence, Lock discovers a conspiracy where badges become weapons, law enforcement is lawless, and where the disappeared don't just vanish. They're erased.

Some lines, once crossed, can't be uncrossed. Some witnesses never get to testify. And some patriots aren't who they claim to be.

From the author of Lockdown and The Yacht Girl comes the fourteenth Ryan Lock thriller.

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

And Ryan Lock is done doing nothing.

A thriller series that's perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, and Gregg Hurwitz.
