Killsong
2020
Nicholas Sharp is a flawed hero, but you sure as hell want him on your side!
Turning his back on the military system that turned him into a murderer when he shot an innocent man, Sharp is grateful to have found refuge in a career as a successful musician. But while he is preparing to back well-known former rock star Robbie West on a USO tour of Iraq, a close friend and her daughter disappear. In a deadly game of cat and mouse across three continents Sharp discovers there’s more at stake than his own life and those close to him. As relentless shadows from his past chase him down, he faces a brutal choice... kill or be killed.
If you enjoy Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, or Robert Crais' Elvis Cole, you need to meet Nicholas Sharp..
