Kill List

Nick Lawrence #1 / 5
by Brian Shea
Kill List (Nick Lawrence #1) by Brian Shea
Unrated

Three people, each at their own breaking point, collide. The resulting impact will forever change their lives…if they can manage to survive it.

Declan Enright, a former police officer recently fired over a controversial shooting, has reached a breaking point in his life. Confronted with insurmountable financial burdens in the wake of his termination, Declan makes a desperate move to stabilize his situation for the benefit of his wife and three young daughters. Tapping into his ingrained skill set, forged during his time as an operator in the Navy’s most elite special operations unit, Declan crosses over the line of right and wrong, discovering that nothing is black and white. All while maintaining the balance of family and the needs of his non-communicative, three-year old Autistic daughter, Laney.

Nicholas Lawrence, an accomplished investigator with the FBI, voluntarily takes a reassignment from his human trafficking unit in Austin, Texas. His transfer brings him to the bank robbery unit based out of Connecticut’s New Haven field office. Nick’s decision to relocate, stemming from the recent death of his father, is done in effort to care for his aging mother suffering from the onset of dementia. The burden of this decision is only slightly alleviated by the support of his partner, Isabella Martinez.

Khaled, a man who suffered an unimaginable loss several years back, makes the decision to leave his small village set in the foothills of Iraq’s Cheekha Dar Mountain. He has traveled to the United States in the hope of seeking closure to the event that haunts his daily existence. Khaled’s concept of closure is wrought with devastating consequences, plunging the country into a state of fear. The best chance at thwarting this threat rests in the unlikely alliance formed between Declan, Nick and Isabella.

Brian Shea

Brian Shea

Brian Shea, or Brian Christopher Shea, is a Wall Street Journal, Amazon Bestselling, and ITW Award finalist author. With over thirty thrillers to his name, you may think it would be time to slow down. On the contrary. His passion for storytelling continues to grow.

His international experiences began early in life when, at the young age of eleven, his father uprooted the family and moved to Saudi Arabia. The two years spent overseas came with a myriad of adventures as he traveled across Europe, Africa, and Asia. Some highlights from that time included a Christmas spent in a tribal village Mombasa, Kenya where an Irish priest delivered the entire mass in Swahili. A competitive swimmer in his youth, Brian travelled to Cairo, Egypt for an international meet. The competition paled in comparison to the awe of standing before the great pyramids and riding horseback across the sand swept desert. The cultural experience and the amazing people he encountered along the way greatly influenced, finding their way into the characters he creates and the worlds they inhabit.

Upon graduating from Northeastern University in Boston, Brian served his country as a naval officer for the next four years. During his time in service, he was stationed in Coronado, Pensacola, and Norfolk. His last duty assignment came with a deployment to the Middle East where he worked within the carrier group’s operations department, exposing him to the complexities of modern warfare.

After his time in the Navy, Brian obtained his master’s degree from Marymount University in Virginia before setting out for Texas. His devotion to service didn’t stop with the military. He became a police officer, working in that capacity in both Texas and Connecticut as a SWAT operator, Narcotics investigator, and Detective. Those experiences hunting real-world monsters permeate his stories. Brian hung up his guns a few years back, retiring as a detective, to pursue his writing career.

When he’s not scribbling down an idea into one of his journals or hammering away on his keyboard, Brian spends his time with his wife and three daughters. Although he’s lived in over fourteen different states, he calls New England his home. And regardless of the weather, he and his wife make time every evening to step out on their back patio for a game or two of chess, even though he ends up losing 99% of the time.

Brian hopes you’ll join him on his next adventure.

“Strength of character is only measured when tested.”
