'A superb thriller that will have everyone gasping' David Baldacci'Badass and brilliant' Chris Whitaker' "Thrill-ride" gets tossed around a little too generously these days, but Craven has written one. A highly entertaining, brilliantly violent tale, full of unforgettable set-pieces' Peter Swanson'A superbly executed thriller with intelligence, wit, humour and rib cracking action' Amer AnwarFive million reasons why Ben Koenig had to disappear. Only one to bring him back . . .Ben Koenig is a ghost. He doesn't exist any more.Six years ago it was Koenig who headed up the US Marshal's elite Special Ops group. They were the elite unit who hunted the bad guys - the really bad guys. They did this so no one else had to. Until the day Koenig disappeared. He told no one why and he left no forwarding address. For six years he became a grey man. Invisible. He drifted from town to town, state to state. He was untraceable. It was as if he had never been.But now Koenig's face is on every television screen in the country. Someone from his past is trying to find him and they don't care how they do it. In the burning heat of the Chihuahuan Desert lies a town called Gauntlet, and there are people in there who have a secret they'll do anything to protect. They've killed before and they will kill again.Only this time they've made a mistake. They've dismissed Koenig as just another drifter - but they're wrong. Because Koenig has a condition, a unique disorder that makes it impossible for him to experience fear. And now they're about to find out what a truly fearless man is capable of. Because Koenig's coming for them. And hell's coming with him . . .Praise for Fearless:'Fearless is a terrific thriller, full of action, twists and turns and a very unusual hero' - Peter Robinson 'Blistering pace and all-out action, impossible to put down, impossible to forget. If you like Reacher, you'll LOVE this' - Chris Whitaker 'Adrenalin-fuelled plotting, hard-charging characters, and small-town evil... this is a thriller with all the right ingredients. And yeah, Reacher fans, you're gonna love this too' - Vaseem Khan 'If you haven't read any M. W. Craven yet, fix that immediately' - S. A. Cosby 'The opening scenes in Fearless are classic suspense-building, but also manage to be entirely original. Craven has unleashed Ben Koenig into the thriller world. Long may he raise hell in the pages. A superb thriller that will have everyone talking, and gasping' - David Baldacci'Fearless isAuthor Bio
