Hammer

Description

“HAMMER is a roller coaster of personal conflict, avarice, and retribution across three continents. Joe’s protagonist, Jack Garrett, brings a conflicted, relatable character forced to evolve from the role of victim to that of avenger. Revenge thriller fans…strap in for a bumpy ride.” – Jack Carr, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Terminal List, True Believer, Savage Son, The Devil’s Hand, In the Blood, Only The Dead, Red Sky Mourning, Cry Havoc, and Beirut

He thought his fighting days were over–he was wrong.
Jack “Hammer” Garrett walked away from the cage a legend. The former UFC world champion traded screaming arenas for the wide silence of his Texas Hill Country ranch, determined to leave violence behind–until a devastating family tragedy ripped it all away.

The people responsible made one mistake–they didn’t finish the job.
Now the skills that made him a champion, combined with a warrior’s code forged in blood and sweat, drive him on a hunt that spans continents. Each clue leads deeper into a web of corruption that reaches from cartel strongholds to the halls of power in Washington, D.C.
What begins as vengeance becomes something far deadlier–a battle for survival against enemies who thrive in the shadows.
This isn’t just payback. It’s survival.Some men are born to fight. Others are made by circumstance. But a rare few are forged in the fire of loss, tempered by justice, and sharpened by an unbreakable will to see things through to the bitter end.
Jack Garrett is that kind of man.
HAMMER is a relentless thriller where loyalty is earned in blood, trust is a luxury few can afford, and one man’s quest for justice becomes a war he never wanted but was born to fight.
