The Kill Clause

Book excerpt: The first novel in the gripping Tim Rackley series from the internationally bestselling author, Gregg Hurwitz. Tim Rackley is a deputy US marshal who is very good at his job - until everything he believes in is shattered by the brutal murder of his own daughter.

Bent on vengeance, he is forced to explore his own deadly options, a quest that leads him into the shadowy no man's land between justice and the law . . . and into the welcoming fold of The Commission, a relentless vigilante group. But as he's dragged deeper into a deadly morass of hidden agendas and murderous justice, his secret new life starts coming unwound and he's suddenly caught in the most terrifying struggle he has ever faced - a desperate battle to save his marriage, his career, his life, his soul, and everything left that's worth fighting for.
