Every killer has a code. Every brother has a breaking point.

Robert and Emil are brothers, business partners, and professional assassins — if you ask them, in that order.

They take jobs through Heinzie, a scumbag broker with a Rolodex full of high-profile clients and zero conscience.

When a new offer comes down — 1.2 million Pentz for eliminating Senator Simon Bisset — it’s too rich to ignore. Four killers, one target. First to the body bags the prize.

But this isn’t just another job. Because Bisset isn’t just a client’s target: he’s Emil’s obsession.

The senator is tied to a conspiracy that reaches into backdoor surveillance networks, shadow governments, and a tech platform called Float that’s quietly rewritten the rules of truth.

If even half of what they’ve uncovered is real, this job is both a payday and a reckoning.

As Emil spirals into a violent crusade and Robert questions whether he even exists outside his brother’s cracked worldview, they’re joined (and hunted) by a motley rogue’s gallery: rival assassins like the surgically detached Nisha, the enigmatic Blackhawk, the duck-faced sociopath aptly named “The Duck,” and Renee: a too-pretty operator whose motives are as slippery as her aim.

Through Floridian meth labs, high-stakes meetups, digital breadcrumbs, and childhood trauma, Robert and Emil race toward a showdown they might not survive.

Twisted, violent, and disturbingly heartfelt, The Target is a propulsive noir thriller about paranoia, family, identity, and the kind of love that leaves bruises.

For fans of Barry Eisler’s John Rain series and Mr. Robot.

Author. Disruptor. Unicorn Rider

I'm the author of Fat Vampire (which became SyFy's Reginald the Vampire), plus 100+ books across most genres. My books are layered, intelligent, and often funny. I love what I do, never cut corners, and would rather earn 10 true fans than sell 10,000 copies.
