The gritty, riveting, highly anticipated sequel to the national (and international) best seller Ghostman, by the critically acclaimed and award-winning Roger Hobbs
Itâs just before dawn on the South China Sea when three experienced pirates open fire on a small smuggling yacht. Their target: a bag of uncut sapphires worth millions. But when one of them stumbles across an enormous treasure that wasnât on the manifest, everything goes sideways. Within minutes two of them are dead, leaving the third, a coldblooded psychopath, to claim both the sapphires and the mysterious windfall for himself. If he disappears, he wonât just be wealthy. Heâll have the power to change the course of history.
His boss, Angela, isnât about to let that happen. She calls in a favor from her onetime protÊgÊ: a fixer sometimes known as Jack, or more often as simply the Ghostman. Within hours heâs flying halfway around the world to find her in the glimmering neon slums of Macau. Jack has no real name, no address and no fingerprintsâbut given the right motivation, he can make serious problems vanish. Though the two havenât talked since they botched a job six years ago, as soon as Jackâs off the plane theyâre back together again, facing down a crime boss, a hit man and a conspiracy bigger than anything theyâve ever encountered and more dangerous than they couldâve imagined.
Their partnershipâbetween people with no lasting relationships whatsoeverâis at the very heart of a novel that will cement Roger Hobbsâs status as one of our most talented crime writers.
