I'm a huge fan of detective novels, and this one is right up there with some of the best. It's a perfect winter read that fans of Harlan Coben, Joe Nesbo, and Michael Connelly will love.” ?????“This book had all of the makings of a great suspense detective mystery. There's a roadblock so the police don't chase the lead, but private eye's (and their assistance, and their client's) are not swayed so easily. They are more creative, as they aren't bound by the red tape. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down, but I still made myself take a break after each chapter so I could absorb the latest connection made by the team.” ?????“This was absolutely amazing! It started off a tad slow, but once it picks up, you won't be able to put it down. Tom's daughter disappeared two years ago and he hasn't given up hope on finding her, so he hires Marshall a PI who has an assistant named Hannah, I loved that you got to see it through all three perspectives and it got so intense towards the end I couldn't wait to figure it all out!” ?????“I am super excited that this was actually the first book in a series as I really enjoyed the author's style of writing and how he was able to keep me reeled in all the way until the end. The second book in this series cannot come soon enough.” ?????“I really enjoyed this book and it made me keep reading because I wanted to know how certain things would play out and if Tom was going to find out what happened to Megan. I love Hannah's character because she was relatable and she was quite entertaining which kept me wanting to read more of her. She's such a great addition to the story.” ?????“This was such a good read, I loved it I couldn't put it down. The writing was engaging, the story compelling, and the characters so well developed they could have jumped out of the pages. I was gripped from the start and on the edge of my seat for most of it. I cannot wait to read more by this author.” ?????“I loved everything about this book! If it had another 150 pages I would have loved it even more. The characters were rich with depth, and all had their own quirks which added even more to the story. It was riveting, kept my attention, but left me wanting more.” ?????“I have to be honest - this is not my typical genre. But wow, I loved it! I loved Hannah - she was flawed yet brave and tenacious.” ?????“I fell in love with this book immediately and I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Megan. Constantly torn between not wanting to read it as I didn't want it to end but being so caught up in the story that I had to keep going to find the answers the characters were searching for.” ?????

***Update: VINDICTA (Book 6), the final book in the core series, is live in ebook, audio and paper formats.***"BLACK FLAGGED" — Classification given to an agent or intelligence officer who is to be interrogated and summarily killed if apprehended.***Includes INCEPTION, a 70-page BONUS prequel novella***For fans of Tom Clancy, Brad Thor and Vince Flynn—a no-holds-barred, pulse-pounding thriller of conspiracy, assassination and deception by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Steven Konkoly.A FORMER COVERT OPERATIVE WILL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT HIS DARKEST SECRETS...Daniel Petrovich, formerly part of the Department of Defense's infamous Black Flag Program, protects a secret buried in the deepest vaults of the Pentagon. Blackmailed into executing one final mission for his previous commanding officer, Daniel's carefully constructed "life" rapidly disintegrates into a relentless federal manhunt--and a "24-style" race against the clock to suppress the shocking truth about his past. To survive, he'll release the darkest side of his concealed identity. A dark side with few boundaries--and even fewer loyalties.Black Flagged lays the foundation for a gritty, high-octane series exploring the serpentine link between covert operations and government agency politics.THE BLACK FLAGGED SERIES:Book 1: ALPHABook 2: REDUXBook 3: APEXBook 4: VEKTORBook 5: OMEGABook 6: VINDICTASEE BELOW FOR CURRENT TIE-IN'S TO THE BLACK FLAGGED BOOKS.THE ZULU VIRUS CHRONICLES:This series is named after the virus introduced (created by rogue scientist Dr. Anatoly Reznikov) in REDUX (Book 2). “ZVC” takes place roughly a decade and a half after the core series ends. I originally designed this series as an alternate universe, where the virus that turned a Russian city inside-out, was finally launched in the United States by the domestic terrorists that commissioned its creation (See APEX, Book 3). The Zulu Virus Chronicles features a mass-scale bioweapons attack against America, perpetrated by domestic terrorists. Several Black Flag operatives show up to try and “save the day” in the series (2nd and 3rd book), including Richard Farrington and the Petroviches.THE DEVIN GRAY BOOKS:DEEP SLEEP, the first book in my latest series, centers around a Russian sleeper conspiracy, on a magnitude never previously explored in the espionage genre. I don’t say that lightly. It truly takes the sleeper concept to the next level—and who better to help Devin Gray take down this network than Karl Berg, who is drawn into the plot early and plays a key role throughout. Black Flagged fans will absolutely love the crossover in this series. Richard Farrington. Scott Daly. Melendez. Miralles. So many more. It’s a must read for Black Flagged readers. This series takes place before ZVC.THE RYAN DECKER BOOKS:I seem to have a penchant for “hard luck” protagonists who need help, and the Ryan Decker series is no exception—though Decker manages to get through the third book without needing the Black Flag crew. That said, the conspiracy he unravels in the third book leads to a “reckoning” of sorts in the final book of the series, and there’s no way to take down APEX Industries without some serious outside help. Enter…a small crew of trusted (well known to Black Flagged fans) mercenaries. _________________________________________________________________________________Steven's novels are recommended for fans of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Brad Taylor's Pike Logan, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, L.T.
