If
the
good
guys
can't
save
you,
call
a
bad
guy.
When
viral
video
of
an
explosive
terrorist
attack
on
San
Francisco's
Golden
Gate
Bridge
reveals
that
a
Federal
witness
long
thought
dead
is
still
alive,
the
organization
he'd
agreed
to
testify
against
will
stop
at
nothing
to
put
him
in
the
ground.
FBI
Special
Agent
Charlie
Thompson
is
determined
to
protect
him,
but
her
hands
are
tied;
the
FBI's
sole
priority
is
catching
the
terrorists
before
they
strike
again.
So
Charlie
calls
the
only
person
on
the
planet
who
can
keep
her
witness
safe:
Michael
Hendricks.
Once
a
covert
operative
for
the
US
military,
Hendricks
makes
his
living
hitting
hitmen...
or
hedid,
until
the
very
organization
hunting
Charlie's
witness--the
Council--caught
wind
and
targeted
the
people
he
loves.
Teaming
up
with
a
young
but
determined
tech
whiz,
Cameron,
on
the
condition
she
leave
him
alone
after
the
case,
Hendricks
reluctantly
takes
the
job.
Of
course,
finding
a
man
desperate
to
stay
hidden
is
challenging
enough
without
deadly
competition,
let
alone
when
the
competition's
shadowy
corporate
backer
is
tangled
in
the
terrorist
conspiracy
playing
out
around
them.
And
now
Hendricks
is
determined
to
take
the
Council
down,
even
if
that
means
wading
into
the
center
of
a
terror
plot
whose
perpetrators
are
not
what
they
seem.

"A one-sitting, extravagant, mind-blowing reading pleasure. Chris Holm has created a story of rare, compelling brilliance, with a concept so high you'll need oxygen to finish it."—David Baldacci
"In his second Michael Hendricks thriller, Holm performs authorial acrobatics, elegantly and nimbly leaping between various locations and voices to produce not just a suspenseful tale kicked off by a San Francisco terrorist attack, but one imbued with multiple fine characters to boot."—The Boston Globe
"Thumbs up, we say. Thumbs up, then lick those thumbs and use them to turn the pages--quickly now, to find out what happens next."—Wayne Alan Brenner,Austin Chronicle
"Holm succeeds in developing Michael Hendricks as a complexly conflicted protagonist, while keeping the level of action and intrigue running high. Smart, unpredictable, and well-constructed... a satisfying thriller on its own terms and likely a harbinger of pulse-quickening adventures still to come."—Portland Press Herald
"A crackerjack read . . . Pretty darned good"—Winnipeg Free Press
"Explosive and timely . . . Holm expertly balances weighty issues of national security with more intimate personal losses, and makes it clear that the best stories happen in the gray area between good and evil."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This follow-up to the acclaimedThe Killing Kindis a real thrill ride. Jeff Abbott fans and adrenaline fiction junkies will appreciate how vividly the shadowy world of military contractors comes to life in Holm's skillful hands."—Library Journal (starred review)
"This story fairly leaps from the blocks. . . .The Killing Kindearned a stack of plaudits, butRed Right Handis the rare second entry in a series that actually rivals its predecessor."—Kirkus Reviews

"Like most people in Crime Fiction Land, I've been hearing about the talented Chris Holm for some time--and now I understand why.Red Right Handis a rare treat--a tightly constructed, crisply written, fast-as-hell thriller. Strap in tight because the chapters whip by in a blur. Such is the view from a roller coaster."—Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan X
