Overview

A mission cloaked in deception. A rogue agent with deadly secrets. A race against time to stop a global catastrophe. Former British Secret Service operative John Beckett thought he’d left the world of espionage behind, living a quiet life in Costa Rica. But when a mysterious woman seeks his help, Beckett is ambushed, blackmailed, and thrust back into a dangerous game with a ruthless CIA adversary. His mission: eliminate Saul Turner, a rogue agent thought to be selling secrets to the enemy.   Paired with the elusive Erica Reed, Beckett’s pursuit of Turner takes him from New York’s bustling streets to a high-stakes gathering of powerful elites. But as he delves deeper, Beckett discovers that in this world of shifting loyalties, no one is who they seem—and the line between ally and enemy is perilously thin.   With millions of lives at stake, Beckett faces an impossible choice that will test his loyalties and could alter the course of his life forever. Dive into A Bullet for the Past, a gripping thriller in Matthew Hattersley’s John Beckett Series, where every turn reveals a new betrayal, and every ally could be a deadly foe. ______________________________________________ Praise for the John Beckett Series ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Author Matthew Hattersley has kicked-off an intriguing series with a remarkable character, John Beckett. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The storyline has so many fascinating twists and turns to keep you guessing throughout ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ John Beckett is certainly a kindred soul to Jack Reacher. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A real ripsnorter of a thriller from the pen of someone at the very top of his game. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I read this with my heart in my mouth it was so tense.
