He thought leaving the CIA would put the danger behind him. He was wrong. After years in intelligence work, Chris Collins steps into the private security world believing it will give him more control and fewer enemies. Instead, a single job draws him into the orbit of a vicious warlord who operates without limits and answers to no one. What begins as a professional risk quickly becomes personal. Collins learns that former military operatives and their families are being targeted, and the violence is escalating. No one is off limits, and the window to stop the attacks is closing fast. Forced back into a world of covert warfare and brutal decisions, Collins must move faster than an enemy driven by revenge and willing to burn everything in its path. Survival means anticipating the next strike before it happens and accepting that walking away is no longer an option. Beirut Hurt is a hard-hitting CIA action thriller built on international danger, high-risk missions, and escalating personal stakes. Ideal for readers who enjoy uncompromising espionage, ruthless adversaries, and fast-moving thrillers with real consequences. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Chris Collins CIA Thriller Series: An action-packed thriller that will keep you awake reading. The adrenaline-fueled ride just keeps on coming. Explosions, attacks, conspiracies, and death. The hits just keep on coming. Could not put it down. Action upon action.
