Gilded Ash (A Connor Fitzgerald Thriller Book 3)

Retired CIA agents are being hunted. A failed mission resurfaces. The CIA is scrambling for answers.

Connor “Fitz” Fitzgerald is no stranger to secrets, but this time, the past is catching up fast. Pulled into another off-the-books operation by the elusive Warren Circle, Fitz and his partner, Charlie Doyle, are tasked with uncovering who is targeting retired CIA agents and why.

Two murders. No suspects. No clear connection. At least, not at first. When Charlie discovers the victims were once part of a covert mission gone wrong in Luskar—a mission she was involved in—the case turns personal. As buried details begin to surface, a shadowy CIA operative emerges with a chilling possibility. The killings may be tied to missing gold from that failed operation and to a rogue agent Charlie thought she’d never face again.

Now, the threat isn’t just about exposing a killer, it’s about stopping what comes next. With every lead, the line between ally and enemy fractures further. Trust is a liability. Secrets are currency. Someone is willing to eliminate anyone who gets too close to the truth.

As the past collides with the present, Fitz and Charlie must unravel a conspiracy steeped in betrayal before they become the next targets.
