The Gray Man meets “The Most Dangerous Game” in this military thriller from a US Special Forces veteran turned investigative journalist.

There are rumors that in some corners of the world, wildlife poachers have become the prey themselves—hunted for sport: the sport of one man hunting another.

Staff Sgt. Jeremy Lopez is a US Army Ranger serving in the highly secretive Regimental Reconnaissance Company, providing support on covert missions in West Africa. When Lopez accepts the wrong drink in the wrong bar from the wrong woman, her face is the last thing he remembers before waking up in a locked, dirty cell.

It soon becomes clear that this is no government facility–this is a holding cell for an elite hunting party, and Lopez has been chosen as their next quarry. These hunters started killing poachers who crossed their paths, and they’ve been building toward a more challenging game.

But Lopez isn’t prey: He’s a hunter himself. When he’s set loose into the wilds, Lopez knows that he’ll need to get to work and do his job: survive, evade, escape, and kill.

Struck by the events of 9/11, Jack Murphy enlisted in the Army after graduating from high school in 2002. He served in the 75th Ranger Regiment and then in the 5th Special Forces Group, completing three combat deployments.

After leaving the military in 2010, he went to college, got involved in a start-up news company, and began writing novels on the side.
