ONE KICK

Author Book List

From the author of the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling Archie Sheridan/Gretchen Lowell thrillers: The first in a nail-biting new series featuring Kick Lannigan, a young woman whose complicated past has given her a very special skill set.

Famously kidnapped at age six, Kick captured America’s
hearts when she was rescued five years later. Now 21, she
finds herself unexpectedly entangled in a missing child
case that will put her talents to the test.

Trained as a marksman, lock picker, escape artist and bomb
maker by her abductor, Kick could not return to the life of
the average young girl after her release. So, in lieu of
therapy, she mastered martial arts, boxing and knife
throwing; learned how to escape from the trunk of a car,
jimmy a pair of handcuffs and walk without making a sound —
all before she was 13.

Kick has trained herself to be safe. But then two children
go missing in three weeks, and an enigmatic and wealthy
former weapons dealer approaches her with a proposition.
John Bishop uses his fortune and contacts to track down
missing children. Not only is he convinced Kick can help
recover the two children — he won’t take no for an answer.

With lives hanging in the balance, Kick is set to be the
crusader she has always imagined herself. Little does she
know that the answers she and Bishop seek are hidden in one
of the few places she doesn’t want to navigate — the dark
corners of her own mind.

A heart-stopping, entertaining thrill ride, ONE KICK
announces the arrival of a blistering new series by a
stunning talent in the thriller realm.
