Birds of Prey Don't Sing: an L.A. assassination thriller

“An absorbing thriller that piles on the twists and turns…” —Kirkus Reviews An elite assassin takes a job no one should be able to pull off: kill a priest and make it look like God did it. Michael Harrier has built his reputation on a system no one else uses. Every contract comes with two targets. One dies. Someone else takes the blame. What should be a clean hit starts to unravel. A woman with a violent past pulls him off course. A single mistake threatens to expose everything. And for the first time, Harrier is forced to improvise. Meanwhile, LAPD homicide sergeant Jordan Becker is hunting a killer he can’t pin down. But he’s built his career on getting results where others stall out. The case doesn’t follow any rules. The evidence doesn’t hold. The story keeps shifting. And the deeper Becker digs, the clearer it becomes he’s chasing someone smarter, faster, and always just out of reach. As Harrier’s world tightens and Becker starts to break through, both men are pulled into a game where every move has consequences—and no one is as untouchable as they think. Because this time, getting away with murder isn’t the hardest part.
