Damned If You Do

A James Stone Thriller

The world thought he was dead.

James Stone made sure it stayed that way.

After vanishing from the headlines, the globally wanted fugitive has carved out a quiet existence in the underbelly of New York City. Serving as bodyguard to Luca O'Driscoll, son of a powerful crime syndicate boss, gives Stone the anonymity he needs to survive. No spotlight. No headlines. No one asking questions.

Then Luca is taken.

The kidnapping is personal, aimed at a dangerous man with enemies in every corner of the city. Stone worked hard to avoid getting caught up in conflict, but now he’s standing in the middle of it.

As old wounds reopen and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Stone realises this is more than a power play. The past has a way of circling back, and this time it’s brought deadly consequences with it.

Stone has worked hard to keep his head down and his past buried. But Luca isn’t just another job. Finding him means stepping back into the light, drawing attention from enemies old and new, and risking the fragile balance Stone has fought to build.

If he stays hidden, Luca dies, but if he intervenes, everything Stone has built will burn.

Because sometimes you’re damned if you do…

And damned if you don’t.

Damned If You Do is the tenth James Stone thriller — a gripping standalone in the relentless James Stone series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Gregg Hurwitz and Mark Dawson.
