Targeted by a Killer. Hunted by the System.

Former SAS operative Jamie “Geordie” Carmichael has left the front lines behind, but the past refuses to let go. When his name appears on a hit list, Jamie quickly discovers he’s being hunted by a ruthless assassin — and framed for crimes he didn’t commit. With enemies closing in from all sides, including the very government he once served, Jamie must use every ounce of his training to uncover the truth and clear his name.

Fast, Furious, and Packed with Twists

Chris Ryan, himself a former SAS soldier, brings unmatched authenticity and intensity to this electrifying thriller. The Hit List is a must-read for fans of Lee Child, Andy McNab, and Vince Flynn — action-packed, intelligently plotted, and impossible to put down.

A deadly game of cat and mouse with global stakes — and only one man can beat the odds.
