Shadow Protocol (A Jack Demos Thriller Book 1)

Some names were meant to stay buried. Some missions never end.

Jack Demos was a ghost. After a mission in Istanbul went sideways, the retired CIA operative disappeared into a Lisbon boatyard, content to be forgotten.

But the past doesn’t forget.

When a figure linked to the op that ruined his life resurfaces, Jack is dragged back into the shadows. The threat is silent, systemic, and spreading. Someone is triggering a chain reaction that could tip the world into chaos.

His only ally? Lena Zhou, a brilliant NSA analyst on her first field assignment, was sent to keep Jack on a short leash. She expects a broken man. What she finds is something far more dangerous.

Now hunted by kill teams and betrayed by the agencies they once trusted, Jack and Lena must unravel a global conspiracy before time runs out.

Shadow Protocol is the explosive first novel in the Jack Demos Thriller Series, packed with razor-sharp tension, brutal action, and relentless momentum. Part of the wider Praetor Universe. Perfect for fans of 24, Burn Notice, and Jack Reacher.
