Publisher Description
For ten years, Logan Booth served as a contract killer for the CIA – he just never knew it. The first book in a blockbuster thriller series from Matt Rogers, million-copy bestseller and 'a bright new talent shaking up the genre ' (Candice Fox).
In the twilight of his career, Logan learns he has been a vessel for furthering government interests, not a rogue hitman for a band of vigilantes. The revelation destroys him.
But when Jorge Romero – an investigative reporter and Logan's oldest friend – is brutally and inexplicably murdered, Logan allows his fury to deliver him from despair.
With an ally in Alice Mason, a homeless witness with a target on her back, Logan goes to war. Against whom, he isn't sure, but he knows powerful forces are at work behind the scenes.
Now, to deliver justice, Logan and Alice must confront their demons and win a savage battle that could destroy their lives ... even if they survive.
'Logan Booth is a character who is impossible to look away from and difficult to forget.' Kyle Mills
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Few thriller writers balance rapid-fire pacing and meditative themes like Matt Rogers. In The Forsaken, he introduces a bold new character: Logan Booth, a freelance assassin who learns he’s been carrying out covert orders from the CIA for the past decade. When his close friend (an investigative journalist) is murdered soon after, Logan enlists an unlikely ally named Alice and embarks on a ruthless quest for vengeance. With its clipped dialogue and precise date and time stamps, urgency is always at the forefront of this focused page-turner. Yet there’s plenty of room for Rogers to explore morality and philosophy in between the hard-hitting action. Tony Alvarez’s gritty, grounded narration breathes life into a hero that will appeal to fans of both Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne.
