The Courier: Relic Runner Book 1

The United States Army created him. Now he's a vigilante hunting for black market artifacts.

Out of work and on the run after a shocking betrayal by his brothers-in-arms, the ex-Special Forces commando hasn’t stopped moving for months. He can’t. Some of the same soldiers who left him for dead in the Middle East still want his head. And as long as Dak's alive, they know they will never be safe.

Fate intervenes when an eccentric young millionaire offers Dak a gig hunting down stolen artifacts. The catch? His first assignment is to recover a priceless item that's in the possession of the most fear cartel boss in Peru.

This cartel doesn't just smuggle drugs, though. They have diversified into illegal gold mining, and human trafficking.

Dak finds himself caught between doing his job, and helping the people of the slums outside of Lima, whose suffering and squalor goes largely unnoticed by any developed nation's media. He learns of their plight through an unlikely introduction to a small boy named Hector. A bond is forged, and Dak knows he can't ignore what's happening.

With a corrupt mayor in the back pocket of the cartel, Dak is in for the toughest fight of his life to help the people of Lima, and recover an artifact that once belonged to the famed conquistador, Francisco Pizarro.
