A kidnapped executive. A trail of radioactive cash. A former CIA operative with nothing to lose.

 When John Phoenix is called to Guatemala to help negotiate a high-risk ransom, he uncovers more than a cartel kidnapping. Beneath the surface lies Project Sine Wave—a covert black ops program that funneled weapons into Central America under Agency orders, then vanished into the shadows.

As Phoenix digs deeper, he finds himself entangled in a decades-old CIA conspiracy, hunted by mercenaries, and shadowed by a relentless investigative journalist with secrets of her own. The money is marked. The mission is compromised. And someone at Langley wants him dead.

For fans of espionage thrillers, CIA thrillers, and pulse-pounding action and adventure. This is a high-stakes ride through the dark corridors of American power—a must-read for fans of Jack Carr, Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney, Jack Mars, and the gritty realism of Proof of Life and Sicario.

Shadow Phoenix delivers a brutal, high-stakes look at the covert wars America pretends don’t exist.
