And one ex-agent who needs to find his missing operative.
Jon Hendricks is pulled back into the Agency when the operative he trained vanishes mid-op. The case turns out to be big. There’s a technology no government can explain but every government wants: a piece of hardware that isn’t supposed to exist for another decade.
The trail runs from Shanghai rooftops to Berlin streets, through NATO backchannels and boardrooms shrouded in secrecy. All the while, the Agency gathers intel that it cannot confirm or deny.
But when the bodies start turning up, hostilities escalate—and Hendricks might be the only thing standing between three governments and a war.
Kill Current catapults the geopolitical thriller into the modern era—Reacher’s momentum, Le Carré's stakes, and an arms race over technology.
