KILLSONG

First they betrayed his trust... then they betrayed his country. Nicholas Sharp was the best of the elite. But after deliberately planted false intelligence caused him to shoot an innocent man, the US Marine sniper walked away. Seeking refuge in the solace of his beloved piano, he's moved on. Until...Suddenly, Sharp's new world is blasted apart. While he's preparing to back well-known singer Robbie West on a USO tour of Iraq, a close friend and her daughter disappear. Simultaneously, faces from Sharp's troubled past re-emerge... and it's no coincidence. Enter the last man on the planet Sharp wants to see, his former superior officer, ex-Major Giles Winter. Winter and his colleagues are convinced that the failed Saddam regime had strategically secreted biological and chemical weapons well away from prying eyes, and they want to get their hands on them. Sharp is dumbfounded. Everyone knew there were no WMDs in Iraq. But what if everyone was wrong?In Winter's eyes, Sharp's involvement in the USO tour provides access and opportunity, the kidnapped mother and child, his motivation. Sharp is ordered to retrieve Saddam's cache so Winter can auction it to the highest bidder. But Nicholas Sharp gave up following orders long ago. Trapped in a deadly maze of colliding worlds and dark agendas, Sharp is compelled to act. He knows there'll be blood on his hands. It's just a question of whose. As tensions mount, his 'would be' masters raise the stakes, so Sharp forces their hand, defiantly stepping on stage in front of 75,000 fans. However, somewhere in the crowd, a deadly assassin awaits. One wrong decision, one misstep... and the consequences could be disastrous. Somewhere between Clancy's Jack Ryan and Ludlum's Jason Bourne, Nicholas Sharp may be a flawed and reluctant hero, but you sure as hell want him on your side.
