The Tears of Odessa (Atlas Hargrove, #1)

A trafficked fifteen-year-old girl…

…in a country this killer barely understands.

Atlas Hargrove is officially on the hunt.

From the USA Today Bestselling Author, R.B. Schow, comes the hard-hitting new thriller, The Tears of Odessa.

Former SWAT commander, Atlas Hargrove, just earned himself back-to-back life sentences in a California Supermax prison. One emotionally-charged moment cost him his wife, his family, his life. All is not lost, though. On the fringes of polite society, financiers with leverage and influence are in constant search of a brute like Atlas, an unlikely asset with a perfect alibi and the skill set needed to stir up hell in the middle of hell itself.

Halfway across the globe, an innocent child is moving through the trafficking lines from one country to the next. With time as his enemy and the rule of law behind him, Atlas will rely on a dodgy group of mercenaries and the instincts of his past to find the girl, kill those who took her, and stamp in the minds of monsters a single message: you cannot monetize children.

Fast-paced and packing one hell of a punch, this no-holds-barred action/adventure thriller will send you to the edge of your seat and have you glued to the pages long into the night.

If you like Barry Eisler, Lee Child, Harlan Coben, and JB Turner, you’re going to love Atlas Hargrove in the brand new series-starter that early readers have called, “A resurgence of both power and heart in the thriller genre,” and “2020’s biggest surprise!”

If you’re ready for a night of unputdownable fiction, fire up your kindle, grab some caffeine, and prepare yourself for a wild night with the pride and joy of NorCal State Prison: the enigmatic, unpredictable Atlas Hargrove.
