The Hardest Thing - James Lear

Résumé :
James Lear does Lee Child in his latest sexy and suspenseful mystery. Dan Stagg is an ex-military man who fell foul of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Like Jack Reacher, he's prone to violence, always upholding what he views as justice.

The young man in question is vain, shallow and very attractive - and it's clear that is idea of 'protection' includes sex. Soon Dan realises that he's being used as a shield for a much more sinister operation...
