The Shadowboxer - C Lowry

They sent a private army to assassinate a politician. They didn't know she hired an army of her own.

Victoria Hayes thought buying Barraque-a shadowy defense consulting firm-would give her the ultimate political leverage in Washington. Instead, it put a massive target on her back. When an elite, off-the-books hit squad breaches her Georgetown townhouse in the dead of night, the former U.S. Senator discovers a terrifying truth: her security is compromised, the police aren't coming, and the very intelligence apparatus she once oversaw now wants her dead.

Enter Brill Wingfield.

He holds no rank. He leaves no digital footprint. He is a lethal, lone-wolf operative who solves impossible problems with brutal, calculated efficiency. Hired to conduct a simple security audit, Brill instantly transforms into Hayes's only lifeline.

Stripped of her wealth, her phones, and her authority, the helpless politician is dragged into a dark, unforgiving underworld of rust-belt safehouses and close-quarters combat. Their enemy is Vanguard, a rogue black-ops faction commanded by the Director of National Intelligence himself. They have thermal drones, elite mercenaries, and limitless federal resources. They expect the Senator to run. They expect her to hide.

But Brill Wingfield doesn't play defense.

Outmanned and outgunned, Brill launches a relentless, scorched-earth offensive against the deep state. From a brutal shootout in a crowded Chicago transit hub to a stealth infiltration of a heavily fortified Virginia estate, Brill systematically dismantles the conspiracy piece by bloody piece.

In a world of political betrayal and moral ambiguity, survival isn't about who holds the most power. It's about who is willing to pull the trigger first.

THE SHADOWBOXER is a gripping, fast-paced political conspiracy thriller packed with tactical realism, high-stakes espionage, and relentless action. Perfect for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Mark Greaney's The Gray Man, and Jack Carr's James Reece.
