Jon ReznickSERIES
Jon Reznick, book 15
Hard Sun
One sniper. One plan. Zero margin for error.
Jon Reznick doesn’t trust the CIA—but when operative Daniel Black shows up near his home in Maine, he listens. A high-value target has been taken out by a sniper in Mallorca. The kill was clean. Professional. And just the beginning.
Reznick is sent in under deep cover to hunt for the assassin and retrieve a cache of Cold War–era surveillance tapes—evidence so explosive it could bring down presidents. As bodies begin to fall and the sniper’s true mission comes into focus, Reznick realizes the stakes are far higher than anyone imagined.
Because this isn’t just a hit. It’s the opening move in something far more devastating—and time is running out to stop it.
Jon gets pulled into a total S show operation in Spain. Crime solving is not his thing but that’s what the CIA wants him to do. Can Reznick pull another rabbit out of his hat? Yes, the one that says “Retired” on the front …. The Audible read-along by Jeffrey Kaper is fantastic as usual, and it adds greatly to the drama of this story !! A+

J.B. Turner's Jon Reznick is not well liked at any of the U.S. intelligence agencies. But his reputation can't be ignored. He gets results. CIA handler Daniel Black gives Reznick a call to start "Hard Sun," the author's 15th installment of the ex-Delta operative and sometime assassin. His request initially falls flat. Reznick wants no part of whatever's going on in Spain. Black's lack of detail and intelligence on the operation doesn't sit well. Yet, Trevelle, Reznick's buddy and computer hacking phenom, comes as part of the offer, and that makes a difference. Normally, the CIA would send in a team. But large groups of spies don't cast the proper optics. Reznick knows he's there because his government wants deniability. Reznick's job is to track down the killer of a Franco-era security chief. The murdered man apparently had a trove of intelligence dating back decades, documents and recorded media, that could pose huge ramifications to worldwide clandestine operations. Turner's novels often feel like mysteries cloaked in a thriller genre. Reznick is a killer, but he's also a detective, trying to sort out all the clues and piece together a picture of what happened. Turner is at the top of his game with this novel, giving the reader an idea of how nice it would be to spend some time in Mallorca while also spending time discussing Spain's fascist history. I ended up watching a couple of YouTube videos, one of Nixon visiting Franco, then an elderly man, and another of Nixon talking about the greatest political presidents in an interview long after he left office.
