About this listen

Think The American Sniper meets The Godfather.

As Bob Burke’s 737 lands at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, he sees a man strangling a woman on a rooftop below. Whether or not anyone believes him, Bob Burke isn’t the kind of guy to let a thing like that rest. He knows what he saw, and it isn't going to end well for the men responsible.

Mild-mannered and slight of build, this telecommunications company executive is easily dismissed as the "phone guy". But after four tours running "special operations" missions in Iraq and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, he's one of the most lethal killers the US government ever produced.

His new combat zone might be a glittering high-rise office building, a suburban tract house, or a wooded Chicago Forest Preserve District park, but when the bodies start falling and a young woman needs help, The Ghost doesn’t hesitate.

After all, they started it, and he intends to finish it. And if he does need a little backup, he knows just the guys to call down at Fort Bragg. After all, it wouldn't be fair to leave them out of the fun, would it?

Looking for a good beach book or something to curl up with in front of the fire, this fast-moving conspiracy thriller is from the author of Burke’s Gamble, Burke’s War, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon, and Aim True, My Brothers, with over 500 Kindle five-star reviews. Enjoy!

As the story progressed I was slowly drawn in until I couldn't put it down. I loved listening to it and it was easily envisaged as a movie. At the end I was thrilled to see there was another book starring Burke. Truthfully recommended to both men and women.

Great story, it was like a movie. Recommended.

From page 1 it was straight into the book. So much enjoyed the story and the characters and as soon as I finished I bought book two “Burkes Gamble” so that says it all.
A very well written and spoken storyline and has pace and action throughout. The author obviously knows his stuff and weapons as his description and knowledge is spot on. Love Bob Burke attitude and his team, in fact “love everything about the book!”
Basically Bob Burke is a retired experienced x vet (Delta Force – Army Ranger Commander and one of the most lethal killers ever produced by the army) with distinction but now a telecommunications company executive flying back to Chicago O’Hare airport when as the plane is landing he witnesses a man strangling a women on an office roof top building. On landing he reports his sighting to the airport police which then starts his troubles as no one believes him, however Bob is the kind of man used to troubles and not to let sleeping dogs lie! He is tagged,; wrongly as just a simple “phone guy” how wrong they can be. Over the next few days Bob (Code named the Ghost) takes on the killer and the Chicago mob with the assistance of his x delta force chums at fort Bragg.
Well recommended it for holidays, or just sitting down and chilling out if you enjoy fast moving thrillers you will love this book!.
