An action-packed debut from Gregg Podolski, The Recruiter is a thrilling and unique adventure through the European underworld.
When bad guys need good help, they call Rick Carter.
He’s a criminal recruiter, searching for contract killers, hackers, gun smugglers, and any other assorted villains-for-hire a European crime boss might need. But, when the family he left behind in New Jersey is caught up in a client’s plot to monopolize the black market, Rick has to save them from two of his own top candidates: deadly assassins known only as Ghost and The Persian.
Fixing his own mess will require a set of skills he doesn’t have—not a problem, as finding qualified help is where he excels. But stepping into action, becoming the hero his family needs, that’s new territory. For a man who’s spent the last ten years being the best at helping the worst, this may be his last chance to do something right.
Genre: Mystery

Praise for this book
"Rick Carter is the 'creator of monsters' and I'm here for all of it. Full stop. Podolski's debut thriller will keep you riveted, and that's an understatement. But beyond a guy who enlists the services of villains is a story about a person trying desperately to hold on to what is most important: family. A cause you will rally behind while on this spectacular ride." - Yasmin Angoe
"Wow! What an excellent thriller--gritty noir with hard-boiled, smart-ass humor, but also a deep, empathetic view into a character who should be abhorrent yet is convincingly transformed into a hero the reader is rooting for. A stunning debut thriller with echoes of Raymond Chandler." - Debbie Burke
"Buckle up! This is one faaaaaast hot rod of a thrill ride." - Avanti Centrae
"The Recruiter is both a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat crime thriller and at times a moving character study. Rick Carter is a man who lives at the nexus of different lives. When those lives crash together against his will, we see who the real Rick Carter is, and even he is surprised. A fascinating and sometimes introspective journey into the heart of the underworld; I really enjoyed it." - S A Cosby
"Rick Carter is cunning and capable with a sarcastic wit and hilarious one-liners. It feels like the heir apparent to Nelson DeMille's John Corey has just burst onto the scene in a big way." - T R Hendricks
