A framed-man thriller set on the European concert circuit, where a touring musician with a sniper’s past is branded a terrorist. Cross-continent manhunt suspense of false evidence, hidden puppet-masters and a hero who can trust no one.
You can't stop someone with nothing to lose.
Ex-marine sniper Nicholas Sharp is living the dream: European concert halls, luxury tours, and audiences on their feet. But when people start dying and evidence points to him, the dream curdles into a nightmare. Betrayed, hunted, and branded a terrorist, he must uncover who’s pulling the strings before he’s silenced for good.
A symphony of deception and betrayal, Lethal Score hurtles across Europe in a relentless manhunt where every note Sharp plays could be his last. Perfect for fans of Clancy’s Jack Ryan and Ludlum’s Jason Bourne.
