Fresh out of CIA training, Tom’s first black ops mission is in the unforgiving mountains of Afghanistan.
He’ll join an elite team assigned to capture notorious Iranian torturer Babak Rashidi. But betrayed by a trusted asset, the operation fails and team member Zeke Greene—a father with everything to lose—is captured by the enemy.
While the rest of his unit retreats, Tom refuses to abandon Zeke. With only Maryam Hussain, daughter of another captured asset, as his unlikely ally, Tom must navigate a lethal web of double agents and drug kingpins as he fights to save Zeke.
The trail leads to The Abattoir—Babak's torture compound hidden deep in Iranian territory. Racing to save his friend, Tom launches a one-man assault against impossible odds.
A relentless prequel that forges a legend in blood and betrayal.
Kill Zone – Book 18 in the outstanding Tom Rollins action thriller series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Jason Kasper and David Archer.
The series
In a world where violence often whispers before it shouts, the Tom Rollins series prowls through backroads, seedy motels, and forgotten towns with a steady hand and a loaded gun. These thrillers aren’t about saving the world—they’re about surviving it, one bloodied mile at a time.
Read full series description
Tom Rollins doesn’t seek trouble, but he’s haunted by it. A former black ops soldier turned drifter, he moves through the underbelly of America like a ghost with a conscience—always drawn to the broken, the hunted, the ones the system left behind. Each story drops readers into a new pocket of decay and danger, where morality is blurred and justice isn’t always clean. There’s no bureaucracy to slow him down, no badge to protect him—just instinct, experience, and a deep, unshakable sense of right and wrong.
The atmosphere is thick with menace—trailer parks pulsing with tension, gas stations lit by flickering neon, rusted-out trucks hiding darker secrets. There’s a brutal elegance in the way these books unfold: spare prose, tight pacing, and characters who bleed in more ways than one. Rollins himself is no superhero. He makes mistakes. He gets hurt. But he keeps going. And that’s what makes him unforgettable.
Gritty, suspense-driven, and unafraid to get its hands dirty, this series delivers the kind of raw, emotionally-charged storytelling that crime thriller fans crave. It’s not just about what happens next—it’s about what it costs to get there.
