Final Target (A Jonathan Grave Thriller)
First published 2026
Freelance operative Jonathan Grave faces his fiercest challenge yet in New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap’s explosive thriller . . . The mission is simple. Drop into the Mexican jungle, infiltrate a drug cartel’s compound, and extract a DEA agent who’s been kidnapped and tortured. But when Jonathan Grave and his partner, Boxers, retrieve the hostage and return to the exfil point, all hell breaks loose. They’re ambushed by the cartel. Abandoned by their chopper. Attacked on all sides with no means of escape, no contacts, and no allies. Their only hope of survival lies inside the walls of a remote orphanage where innocent children have been targeted for death. Even if Grave can escort his precious cargo to safety across 100 miles of treacherous jungle filled with enemies, he can’t shake the feeling that something bigger is at play. A vast conspiracy of international power players who take no prisoners—and leave no survivors . . .
