Thriller / suspense
The thrilling, unmissable first novel in a new series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gray Man, and soon to be a major film.
One last job, out of the fire, and into hell...
'Armored's gritty military authenticity truly grips' --- THE TIMES
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Gray Man series comes a very different kind of hero.
Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent - a professional bodyguard, and he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg.
There's not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in Jersey. For a man like Josh this is purgatory on earth, but even in Paramus miracles occur.
A lucky run in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo (The Devil's Spine). Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.
Soon to be a major film by Michael Bay, Armored is a gasp-a-minute rollercoaster of a thriller.
