Dead or Alive · A Heart-Pounding Assassination Thriller With a Shocking Twist (Eliot Locke Thrillers Book 1)

It was meant to be a simple job...

All professional bounty hunter Eli Varrick has to do is set up the target, squeeze the trigger and escape the area as silently and unobtrusively as he had arrived.

He does the job and slips quietly away. It’s plain sailing for a hitman as professional as Eli.

Another successful $40,000 payday and soon he will be safely home.

But he doesn’t count on the hunter becoming the hunted. The CIA bosses he thought he was working for in war torn Bosnia have no knowledge of the planned killing. Eli has been set up by Amel Dugalic, money man for several local warlords who he is playing off one against the other.

After narrowly escaping a bomb attack on his hotel room, Eli finds he is a man on the run with no one to turn to.

He is without passport, money or weapons.

Fellow paid assassin and former lover, the sexually charged La Donna, reluctantly agrees to help but he soon finds she has other more dangerous agendas…

Eli plunges deeper into a terrifying world where no one is who they seem and every friend is a foe.

Salvation appears to come in the form of a seductive English teacher - but is she as she seems?

Dean Carson’s fast-paced tale of an honourable bounty hunter is a thrilling ride with a cliff-hanging moment at the end of every chapter.
