ZERO MARGIN

The first explosive thriller in a major new Reacher spin-off series starring Frances Neagley—the inspiration for the upcoming Prime Video streaming series NEAGLEY — from global No.1 bestseller Lee Child and Yasmin Angoe.

A kidnapped boy. A corrupt shadow network. A mission that turns personal. Neagley is about to be pushed to her limits.

Former U.S. Army Master Sergeant Frances Neagley has a simple set of rules: protect the innocent, expose the guilty, leave no one behind. But this time, Neagley is fighting a war that started long before she knew it. When a desperate encrypted call reaches her, Neagley reconnects with Madeline Baker, her former commanding officer, now a wealthy CEO of a public security company. Baker's son has been taken from outside his school. Lured away by a covert syndicate that operates beyond the reach of governments, borders, and the law.

Neagley assembles a precision strike team and dives into a labyrinth of dark-web auctions, compromised intelligence officials, and off-the-books military tech. But every lead points back to one impossible truth: the mastermind is someone they know. Now the mission is personal. And Neagley knows one thing: some missions you choose. Others choose you.
