The hunt for their enemy leads a special forces team to a much darker threat in the second thrilling novel in the Jad Bell series by New York Times bestselling author Greg Rucka.

Praise for ALPHA . Cynical hero, unrelenting villains and a story told at rocket-fuelled pace...has a speed and conviction that sets it apart. The perfect airplane read Daily Mail A tough, action-filled thriller that starts at a gallop and never slows down Canberra Times Hands down, the most exciting, adrenaline-pumping, butt-kicking novel I've read in years. Christopher Reich 'Pulse-pounding...Rucka mixes suspense and an alarmingly realistic plot with ease.' Publishers Weekly This lean, mean thriller with just the right amount of character development and unexpected complications will appeal to all who enjoy this genre but particularly to readers who like a strong hero along the lines of Lee Child's Jack Reacher.
