Pound of Flesh - A Tale of Power, Betrayal, and Redemption

A Federal Reserve mastermind. A ruthless assassin. Power, money, and blood—this time, it’s personal. In a world where money moves mountains, revenge still writes the final check. Stephanie Johnson is dead. Murdered in cold blood. And for Barrett Johnson, an ex-military operative with a deadly past, that means one thing: war. The hunt for her killer takes him from the backrooms of Washington to the lawless depths of Venezuela—a country controlled by the iron grip of Nicolás Maduro and his enforcer, Diosdado Cabello. In a land where corruption is king and loyalty is bought with blood, Barrett will have to play by their rules—or burn the whole system down. Mitch Roth decides the fate of nations with a single call. As head of the Federal Reserve, he controls the flow of money, whispers in the president’s ear, and dictates the rise and fall of global markets. But power like his comes with enemies, and now, everyone around him is at risk. At the center of it all? Miranda Mendoza. Ruthless. Cunning. Fresh out of prison. A woman with nothing left to lose and vengeance to claim. Armed with murder, corruption, and the dark forces of Santería, she’s built an empire in the shadows—one that threatens to unravel everything Mitch and Barrett hold dear. As they dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power, where money and blood are the only currencies that matter. An action-packed and utterly gripping, globetrotting thriller—perfect for fans of I AM PILGRIM by Terry Hayes, NOMAD by James Swallow, Mark Dawson's THE CLEANER, THE DECEIVERS by Alex Berenson, THE TERMINAL LIST by Jack Carr, RED SPARROW by Jason Matthews, and THE LIONS OF LUCERNE by Brad Thor.
