The Good Killer: A Novel

An act of heroism forces a husband and wife out of hiding and into a cross-country chase for their lives in this action-packed crime thriller.

Sean Tennant and his wife, Molly, are living safely, quietly, and cautiously in Houston. But that all changes after Sean heads to a local shopping mall, and a gunman begins shooting everyone in sight. A former soldier, Sean ends the slaughter with two well-placed shots—becoming a hero with his face plastered across the news.

But Sean’s newfound notoriety exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely in his past. One of them blames Sean for his brother’s death. The other wants to recover a treasure that Sean and Molly stole from him. Both men are deadly and relentless enemies, and Sean and Molly will need to draw on all their strength and devotion to each other if they hope to elude them. Thus begins a cross-country chase that leads from Texas to Montana, from Tennessee to New York to Michigan, as the hunters and their prey grow ever closer and, in a heart-stopping moment, converge . . .

A wickedly clever and exhilarating thriller, The Good Killer offers a sophisticated, breathtaking look at the extremes people will reach for love, greed, and survival.
