The novel “Killshot” by Lee Gimenez was published for the first time in 2022. It’s part of the Rachel West series.

When an assassination attempt on the US president narrowly fails, only a few trusted individuals are included in a highly sensitive investigation. New attempts to kill the president fail, but they indicate that someone with intimate knowledge of his movements is providing highly classified information to the would-be assassins.

Alex Miller is one of the very few people the president trusts and is forced to lift the suspension of Rachel West, his best but least disciplined agent. Even the White House staff is scrutinized with every means the CIA can muster to find the mole. Concerns for Rachel grow when her boyfriend J.T. Ryan disappears.

The novel “Ghosts” by Mark Dawson was published for the first time in 2014. It’s the fourth book in the John Milton series and follows “The Driver”.

In Texas, John Milton gets into trouble when he decides to intervene with a pair of bullies, one of whom turns out to be the local sheriff’s son. He knows he has very little time to escape from the prison where he’s been held before his former colleagues come for him, and is surprised when he ends up in the custody of an FBI agent instead.

When the two of them leave, the woman reveals that she’s actually a Russian intelligence agent and knows John Milton’s real identity. Her Russian superiors want him to do some work for them, and, in exchange, offer him the life of Captain Michael Pope, a man who saved John’s life and is now a Russian prisoner. To save Pope, John must find Beatrix Rose, who used to be Number One in Group Fifteen years earlier, until Control betrayed her.

The novel “Saint Death” by Mark Dawson was published for the first time in 2014. It’s the second book in the John Milton series and follows “The Cleaner”.

John Milton has spent months moving around South America without staying in one place for long as he tries to avoid being found by his former boss. When he arrives in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, he gets a job as a cook in a restaurant, but his search for quiet doesn’t last long.

Lieutenant Jesus Plato is one of the few honest cops in Ciudad Juárez, but there’s little he can do about the drug cartel that controls the city. Criminal activities include kidnapping girls for sex, and two bloggers are looking for a survivor to go public with the story. They end up in the crosshairs of the cartel and its most ruthless assassin, known as the Saint Death.

Fireball by Lee Gimenez

The novel “Fireball” by Lee Gimenez was published for the first time in 2018. It’s part of the J.T. Ryan series.

The murder of three important people convinces the president of the USA of the existence of a conspiracy to throw the nation into chaos. For this reason, he calls a top-secret meeting to assign FBI Assistant Director Erin Welch and Alex Miller of the CIA to the investigation. J.T. Ryan is summoned also due to his military background and Miller announces that he will include agent Rachel West in the operations.

The investigation is even more complex than normal due to the need to keep it very confidential. J.T. Ryan cannot count on Lisa Booth’s assistance and must expose himself more than ever to the risks that come with his job. The political ramifications indicate that someone behind the conspiracy is capable of applying pressure at high levels through bribery or blackmail to target American institutions.

The “Two Against the Underworld” guidebook by Richard McGinlay, Alan Hayes, and Alys Hayes was published for the first time in 2015 and in a revised edition in 2017.

“The Avengers” is a show that made television history yet its origins are in some ways obscure, above all, because series 1 was almost completely lost. The authors did a considerable amount of research based on the source material and various sources to try to offer as complete a guide as possible to the creation of the show and the production of series 1, the reason for the subtitle “The Complete Unauthorized Guide to The Avengers Series 1”.
