From New York Times bestselling author Raymond Khoury comes a blistering new Reilly & Tess thriller, published exclusively as a Kindle ebook. TO AVENGE HIS PAST, HE HAS TO RISK HIS FUTURE While tracking down the men behind a DarkNet marketplace where everything, even murder, is available for barter, FBI Special Agent Sean Reilly crosses paths with a man who claims to know the truth about the death of Reilly’s father, back when Reilly was ten. A death that had been considered a suicide—until now. In chasing after the potentially devastating revelations about that hidden past, Reilly awakens other dormant monsters—a cabal of assassins whose unusual methods have escaped detection for decades, whose victims have spanned continents, and whose leaders would rather remain hidden in the shadows. At any cost. Watched, manipulated, and framed for crimes he didn't commit, Reilly becomes a fugitive, making it next to impossible for him to uncover the truth while protecting his family. He's left with no choice but to risk everything to unearth secrets that would shake the country to its core—if he were ever allowed to get that far. Read THE END GAME and dive into Reilly’s most personal—and most dangerous—story yet. “History, mystery, suspense, and action—Khoury knows the recipe for a good read.” —Library Journal “A world-class writer of pure-bred thrillers.” —The Telegraph “Khoury’s thrillers engage the reader’s mind, even as they move at a breakneck pace.” —Booklist **Review "History, mystery, suspense, and action--Khoury knows the recipe for a good read." --Library Journal on Rasputin's Shadow "A fast-paced thrill-ride... a fine thriller to start the new year with." --Booklist on The Devil's Elixir "A world-class writer of pure-bred thrillers ... [joins] Connelly, Child, Crais & Co at the top table-a feat this achieves with aplomb." --The Telegraph (UK) on The Devil's Elixir "Vivid, energetic scenes ensure that Khoury's tale never falters or bores. It's the sort of novel that could make a colorful movie, but meanwhile, enjoy the book." --Kirkus Reviews on The Devil's Elixir "Sublime narrative ... a full-throttle action-adventure thriller wrapped in a political cautionary tale with a gratifyingly eloquent center." --Library Journal on The Templar Salvation "A thoughtful book with a powerful message and yet also a thrilling read with compelling, well-developed characters. Highly recommended." --Library Journal on The Sign "Khoury's thrillers engage the reader's mind, even as they move at a breakneck pace. Readers who like their thrillers to have a solid intellectual component will enjoy Khoury's books very much. Given the high quality of each of his novels, it seems fair to say that he may be around for a while." --Booklist on The Sign (Starred Review) "This story captivates with plausibility and imagination. It's fiercely intelligent and equally curious. [Khoury] has an intense brand of storytelling all his own. The Sign is a prize to be savored."  --Steve Berry, bestselling author of The 14th Colony, on The Sign "A pulse-pounding thriller that spans continents in pursuit of an audacious if implausible hi-tech conspiracy to reshape the global balance of power, told in 85 punchy chapters, which cries out Hollywood blockbuster." --The Telegraph (UK) on The Sign "Maybe the most ambitious fictional work of 2007... enough adventure, excitement and speculation to fill three books." --Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter.com on The Sanctuary "Khoury makes the conspiracy feel utterly believable and imbues his characters with infectious passion for finding the truth. A surefire hit with fans of conspiracy-based historical thrillers." --Booklist on The Sanctuary "Remember the impact of The Last Templar? Well, here we go again. More dual time (1750 and 2003), this explores the secret of human longevity. Terrific Stuff." --Bookseller Magazine on The Sanctuary "Fans of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code who are searching for another outstanding historical thriller need look no further than Raymond Khoury's spectacular debut novel ... An insanely fast paced thriller that includes breathtaking twists and jaw-dropping bombshells on practically every page, Khoury's conspiracy-laden debut -- a blend of historical fiction, suspense, romance, and wild religious speculation -- will open up a can of existential worms that will be all but impossible to close ... The highly volatile subject matter discussed within The Last Templar will spark endless hours of heated debate -- and the conclusion (oh, the brilliant conclusion!) will leave readers absolutely dumbstruck." --Paul G Allen, Barnes & Noble Editor on The Last Templar "Any reader encountering The Last Templar will want 1) a film version, and 2) more novels from Khoury, not necessarily in that order. Recommended." --Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter.com on The Last Templar About the Author RAYMOND KHOURY is the New York Times and international bestselling author of four previous Reilly novels: Rasputin's Shadow, The Devil's Elixir, The Templar Salvation, and his debut, The Last Templar, as well as two stand-alone thrillers, The Sign and The Sanctuary.

But he's up against a warmonger linked to assasinations, kidnappings, and terrorist activities.Hutch quickly uncovers a plan that seems unfathomable in its recklessness and loss of life. Yet he's just one man up against impossible odds--with no Plan B. Thankfully, it's just the kind of environment Hutch thrives best in . . . if he can survive the next three days.Deadlock will grab you from the riveting first page to its white-knuckle climax."With a blistering pace and irresistable characters, Deadlock is the best of high-octane suspense." Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author of The Last SpymasterFrom Publishers WeeklyThe violent duel between idealistic journalist John Hutchinson and insane, megalomaniacal military industrialist Brendan Page continues in Liparulo's formulaic sequel to 2007's Deadfall. During their previous clash, Hutch killed Brendan's son Declan, who had used a laser cannon to terrorize a small town in Saskatchewan. Unable to convince the authorities in the U.S. and Canada that Brendan was behind the attack, Hutch has recommitted himself to getting the goods on his mortal enemy. When Brendan's forces abduct Hutch's young son, Logan, from Hutch's Colorado home, the reporter must battle hordes of foes in an attempt to rescue Logan. Fans of James Bond movies may appreciate the bad guy's grandiose schemes and the hero's many hairbreadth escapes, but readers who want more than clichés in their action fiction will have to look elsewhere.

Review"With a blistering pace and irresistible characters, Deadlock is the best of high-octane suspense. Robert Liparulo is a fabulous story-teller. His eye for military detail is unerring, and his ability to see into the human heart is revelatory. A page-turner and a heart-tugger, Deadlock is an unforgettable adventure and not to be missed." --Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Spymaster
