Second Chance: A Ryan Lock Novel

Winner of the 2018 International Thriller Writers Award for best e-book original novel.

“Readers, meet Ryan Lock – a tough-guy hero for the new age.” Gregg Hurwitz

Over the years, former military bodyguard Ryan Lock has made more than his fair share of enemies. It was only a matter of time before one of them came looking for payback . . .

A serial rapist brutally murdered inside California's highest-security prison for women. A frantic gun battle in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. A beautiful, young defense attorney violently abducted from her office.

A series of apparently random events that are anything but.

Someone is hell bent on revenge, and their target's name is Ryan Lock.
