Authors: Eric Van Lustbader

Agent Jack McClure is babysitting Carson’s troubled daughter in Moscow. Alli is still traumatised by her abduction last year, and the only person she trusts is Jack, the man who rescued her. But the President needs Jack to investigate the Senator’s final days in the Ukraine, and since Alli won’t be parted from her protector, he’ll have to take her along.

Their starting point is the senator’s last known contact: K. Rochev. But all they find at Rochev’s address is the body of a young woman, brutally executed. And now Jack and Alli have attracted dangerous attention from the Ukrainian police, the FSB, and the Russian mafia...

Blood Trust

Alli Carson used to be the daughter of the President of the United States. She wanted for nothing. But now, after a terrible car crash killed her father and left her mother in a coma, Alli’s only solace is her work. She is determined to become the best FBI agent at the Fearington Institute, and prove herself to the one man who makes life worth living: National Security Adviser, Jack McClure.

But when Alli becomes the prime suspect in a murder at Fearington, it seems even her job is to be snatched from her. Jack knows she is innocent. But to prove it, he must unravel a complex web of lies that stretches from the secret service to a vast global enterprise that lurks in the shadows of power…

Father Night

A new president. A new life. Orphan Alli Carson has taken up a post at Fearington, the elite covert training school. Now she fears that the people who worked relentlessly to undermine her father – and ultimately cause his death – are targeting her too.

Meanwhile, Washington’s top agent, Jack McClure, is being threatened by one of Russia’s most fearsome assassins. But is this attempt the action of his lover’s criminal family, or a move to remove him before the American government can call upon him for aid?

With the two people who might be able to save his reputation out of the picture, President Arlen Crawford is struggling to preserve the pretence of power in the corridors of the White House.

All paths collide at the feet of one man, an old legend adapting to an ever-changing landscape. A man who was lost in the annals of Nazism’s worst atrocities, but whose heinous cause is still very much alive. A man code-named Father Night...

Beloved Enemy

The Secretary of Homeland Security has been shot dead at his home in Washington. The last man to see him alive was Special Agent Jack McClure.

Secretary Dennis Paull had top-secret information. Information so sensitive it cost him his life. He knew about a mole in the US Government and tasked McClure with finding the traitor. Now Paull is dead, and McClure is wanted for his murder.

Jack is in a race against time. He must outrun the FBI, outrun the paid assassins on his trail, and find the real killer before he loses everything. And to do that he must confront Annika Dementieva, the woman he once loved but who is now his most deadly enemy...

The first three books are also available as an omnibus edition:
