The Bricklayer
A blockbusting thriller introducing maverick FBI agent Steve Vail.
“Move over Jack Reacher, here comes The Bricklayer.” James Patterson
STEVE VAIL IS A MAVERICK.
A trained killer and former agent, Vail despises authority and he’s never met a rule he didn’t break. These days he’s working as a bricklayer.
Now, Deputy Kate Bannon of the FBI desperately wants his help.
Because someone is killing their operatives – in complex, subtle, twisted ways – and the body count is rising fast. Someone holds a fatal grudge against the agency; someone who knows how it works, and wants a bloody revenge.
And it might be an inside job.
To stem the tide of murders, Vail must re-enter a world he hoped he left behind long ago – his own past.
