ASSASSIN’S MACE
Book 5 of the Jake Palmer Series
Weeks from the end of a brutal two-year assignment, elite operative Jake Palmer is pulled into one last mission—an off-the-books infiltration into Russia under a false identity. Alongside his partner, Alona Green, and guided only by a distant MI6 contact, Palmer must extract a top-secret hypersonic missile engineer before time—and enemies—run out.
But when the mission reveals intelligence that could shift the global balance of power, escape becomes a fight for survival. Hunted by Russia’s deadliest assassin, Palmer and Green are pushed beyond their limits in a high-stakes game where failure isn’t an option—and trust may be their greatest risk.
A relentless, edge-of-your-seat thriller where one mission could change everything.
