Sam Cooper has done his time on the hero circuit. First as a Navy SEAL and then as an FBI agent, Cooper learned how easily a man could stumble on that path. Now he’s nobody’s hero, a PI living on his boat and working cases where the only thing at stake is money. Then Jessie Burkett shows up on his dock, insisting he help find her missing sister, Nicole. Although all of Cooper’s instincts scream at him to set sail for the wide-open waters of the Caribbean, he can’t turn his back on the stubborn woman whose captured more than his professional interest and leave her to the ruthless men surrounding her. Soon, he’s once again following a hero’s path, but in his search for Nicole, he’s made some powerful—and deadly—enemies. Worse, he can't seem to keep his hands off Jessie. Right now he's her knight in shining armor, but will she still want him when she no longer needs a hero?

Book Description
“Craven has unleashed Ben Koenig into the thriller world. Long may he raise hell in the pages." —David Baldacci “Exhilarating and darkly comic. . . Craven effectively mixes the unvarnished brutality and high body count of Lee Child with the black humor of Mick Herron.” —Publishers Weekly A man who can't feel fear is in a race against time to find a woman who knows a secret that could take down the United States The man who can’t feel fear is back. . . When a shocking murder and abduction on the streets of London leads investigators to open a safe in Langley for the first time in ten years, they find a note directing them to a few key individuals. Three of the people on the list are dead. The fourth is Ben Koenig. Koenig has no idea why his name is on the list. Then he realizes that he knows the woman who carried out the killings. Ten years earlier, without being told why, he was tasked with helping her disappear. Far from being a deranged killer, she is the gatekeeper of a secret that could take down America, and for the safety of the country, she has been in hiding for years—until now. And if she has resurfaced, the danger may be closer and more terrifying than anyone can imagine. Ben Koenig has to find her before it’s too late. But Ben suffers from a syndrome that means he can’t feel fear. He doesn’t always know when he should walk away . . . or when he’s leading others into danger. Fast, brutal, smart, and violent, Nobody’s Hero is an engrossing story of contract killers, international terrorism, hard choices, and the future of the country—and the world as we know it.
