The Asset

In the exciting new thriller from the author of the internationally bestsellingIntern’s Handbook, a private airport security contractor becomes a counterterrorism operative and must stop an attack that will destabilize the US and cause global chaos.

Kennedy—a private airport security contractor—knows more about airports than the head of the TSA, and he feels more comfortable in his British Airways Club World flatbed seat than in his own home. Haunted by dreams of his younger sister’s death on 9/11, Kennedy takes his job and the protection of the American people very seriously. So when he’s kidnapped and recruited into a mysterious CIA operation known as Red Carpet, he jumps at the opportunity. Joined by a unique cast of characters, including Love, a pop star who uses her international celebrity to carry out covert operations; Heathrow, a marketing exec who already knows more about you than the NSA; and DeGaulle, a Scandinavian weapons dealer; Kennedy must find and stop the greatest terrorist threat that the United States will ever face.

Shane Kuhn’s bold, darkly comic voice has earned him rave reviews for his previous series, starting with theIntern’s Handbook, which was called, “a serious guilty pleasure” by TheSeattle Times and, “explosively violent and psychologically wily the way a good thriller should be” by theNew York Post. Shane brings that same intense voice and gripping storytelling toThe Asset—an edge-of-your seat read you won’t be able to put down.
