All The Good Men (Garrison Chase #3)

Garrison Chase has done it all: As a sniper in the Marines. A covert government operative. An agent for the Bureau. Now he’s opted for a quieter life doing occasional jobs for his friend’s Washington, DC security firm. His latest job: protecting a United States senator from a threatening colleague.

But that assignment turns deadly when Chase barges into a private meeting between the two senators and discovers a bloodbath.

Though it looks like a murder-suicide, Chase is convinced it’s a setup. Someone else must’ve been at the meeting. But nobody believes him. Not the local police or the feds. Everyone wants the case wrapped up neat and tidy.

When more senators are targeted, one murdered and another abducted, Chase realizes incredibly powerful men—both inside and outside the government—will do anything to hide their shocking crimes.

With dark secrets and a deep cover-up at play, Chase must tap into his considerable skills and no fail attitude to bring down the most powerful men in the country. Because if United States senators are fair game in this murder-for-hire conspiracy, then no one is safe.

A Thin Line (Garrison Chase #2)

Framed for murder by a notorious human trafficker he was supposed to have killed, former operative Garrison Chase’s harrowing journey to clear his name takes him from an underground torture chamber deep in the heart of L.A.’s human trafficking ring to the highest office in the land.

Along the way, Chase learns the trafficker is a small link in a far more sinister chain. But the deeper he digs, and the more he uncovers, the more treacherous the stakes. Because powerful people are protecting a forty-year-old secret with devastating repercussions for the upcoming presidential election. And they’ll do anything to keep the truth buried.

The Greatest Good (Garrison Chase #1)

Back on the job after a year's suspension, former operative turned federal agent Garrison Chase is looking to redeem himself in the Bureau's eyes. Which should be easy, given his assignment is a routine protection detail for Stanley Tuchek, the California governor's son.

But on the first morning of protection all hell breaks loose when Chase's house is nearly blown up and Stanley is shot a few hours later. Furious, the governor fires Chase and tells him to stay far away from Stanley.

But Chase doubles down instead, using Stanley as bait to lure the assassin. And it works. When Chase comes face to face with the hitman, however, he's stunned to learn the man's identity. Even more shocking is who sent him.

Suddenly Chase is plagued by questions. He doesn't know if his past is back to haunt him or if Stanley isn't as innocent as he seems.

It's a race against time--and against powerful enemies he didn't know he had--to find the answers. Because if he doesn't find them quickly, Garrison Chase, and everyone he loves most in the world, are as good as dead.
