The Harder They Fall
(2020)(The first book in the Softley Softley Thrillers series)
A novel by Alex Smith
FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DCI ROBERT KETT THRILLERS!
Would you start a war to avenge your brother's murder?
Ian Softley is a killer. He’s the man governments call when they want somebody dead. His is a life of intimidation and brutality, of beatings and executions—including, ultimately, his own.
Jack Softley’s life is a world away from his brother’s. A high school English teacher, devoted father, and all-round nice guy, Jack tries to stay as far from trouble as possible. But when he receives word that Ian has been murdered, he finds himself dragged into a storm of violence and danger.
Because the same people who killed his brother want him dead too.
Hunted by government agents and brutal assassins, Jack must discover the truth about Ian’s dark past if he wants to stay alive.
But Ian isn’t the only Softley to have secrets.
Jack hasn’t always been a teacher. He hasn’t always been a nice guy. And when push comes to shove, he doesn’t do things softly.
The first book in Alex Smith’s unputdownable Softley Softley series. If you like brutal action, pulse-pounding suspense, and stories that never stop for breath, you’re going to love this electrifying thriller. Featuring a guest appearance by DCI Robbie Kett, from Alex Smith's internationally bestselling crime thrillers!
Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His new thrillers for adults have monsters in too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published thirteen novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the award-winning Escape From Furnace series, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
Genre: Mystery
