The Monarch

Fans of thrilling adventures and international suspense will love Jack Soren’s whirlwind debut novel - a tale of two thieves detoured on the road to redemption.

Imitation is the deadliest form of flattery …

When Jonathan Hall walked away from his career as an international art thief to be a father, he thought he’d made a clean break - from crime, from life as The Monarch, from an early grave.

But when The Monarch’s signature symbol resurfaces, carved into the mutilated bodies of New York’s elite, Jonathan realizes his retirement may have been short-lived. Someone is framing The Monarch for horrific slayings. But Jonathan and his former partner, Lew, know this isn’t just murder - it’s a message.

Now caught in a deadly game against a fanatical madman whose reach penetrates the darkest corners of the globe, Jonathan and Lew have no choice but to play along. But when Jonathan’s daughter becomes a pawn, all bets are off. To win this game, Jonathan and Lew will have to accept one final task as The Monarch - a job that could change the course of history forever.
