Blog postThe good news is that Jason Trapp #4, Depth Charge, is now LIVE on Amazon!
I honestly meant for this book to be out quite a while ago, but one thing lead to another, and I found it a little more difficult than normal to write whilst it’s gray out the window, and with rain coming down in sheets outside…
The first three books were either written or started during Spring and Summer, and it seems the sun on my face really helps get the creative juices flowing.

Blog postToday’s exciting news is that Jason Trapp is back in the second book in the series, False Flag!
Book 2 takes Jason from Hong Kong to Macua, Guam to North Korea, in submarines hundreds of feet below the sea, to aircraft carriers with thousands of crew on top. New characters are introduced, and favorite faces from the previous book make fresh appearances.
It’s as fast-paced and action-packed as Deep State, and if you’re looking for a thriller at the moment, in my humble (and bia2 years ago Read more -
Blog postExciting news! False Flag, the second book in my Jason Trapp series, is up on Amazon, and ready to be pre-ordered!
My cover designer would be pretty angry if I didn’t mention that the cover isn’t yet final – so here’s me mentioning! There will be a raft of changes to it, but I think it already looks pretty good!
The launch date is set for September 14th, but between you and me, I think it’ll be out a bit sooner than that.

Blog postI am ecstatic to be able to announce that my first ever thriller, Deep State, is now live on Amazon (and sitting pretty with all five star reviews, no less!) Even better, I am closing in on my first hundred sales, a mark that I should hit some time in the next few hours – and the book has only been available for fewer than 48 hours!

Blog postHello and welcome to my new website!
I’m currently putting the finishing touches on my first thriller novel, Deep State, which follows former CIA operative Jason Trapp. I’ll be launching Deep State in July, and following up with the first of a planned series of sequels in August – and I could not be more excited!
I’ve been dreaming up a character like Trapp for at least a decade, during which time I’ve worked in publishing as a jack of all trades. I finally decided to master o2 years ago Read more

Jack Slater
$4.99
Spies are like rats.
In DC, you're never more than ten feet from one.
Jason Trapp is about to find that out the hard way. All he wanted was a week off, but the world had other plans. Trapp stumbles onto something he wasn't meant to see, and when half a dozen top US officials are murdered by drug cartel sicarios, the reason becomes sickeningly clear.
Within days, Mexico is on the brink of civil war, and the violence is spilling across the US border. The drug cartels are at war, innocent people are dying, and the President needs options.
Trapp soon realizes there's more to this than meets the eye. Someone out there planned this.
But he intends to finish it.
The Apparatus is the fifth book in Jack Slater's best-selling Jason Trapp CIA thriller series. It sees the return of fan favorite operative Eliza Ikeda, and the introduction of a shadowy global organization that will prove Trapp's stiffest test yet...

Deep State (Jason Trapp Book 1)

$3.99
Long ago, men of violence ruled with an iron fist. They owed loyalty only to themselves. Their names were whispered, but never spoken. In parts of the world, those old traditions still hold strong. Power there spews from the barrel of a gun. Laws are shaped with lead, taxes paid in cold dread.
But not America.
Because we too have those whose names are whispered. Men who know nothing but the gray zone between life and death, whose only calling in life is to do the things the rest of us dare not, the things that keep us safe.
Men like the Hangman, a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost.
Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything he held dear.
But legends never die...
The Hangman is back. And he's looking for blood.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
But Jason Trapp is losing his taste for it. For six months, his personal crusade has taken him around the world, mopping up the last of the Bloody Monday conspirators. There's only one left, and after the crooked financier Emmanuel Alstyne meets his maker, Trapp's debt will be paid in full. He vows he's done with the business of death.
Unfortunately, it isn't done with him.
After a simple kill mission goes sideways in Macau, leaving a CIA spy kidnapped, half a dozen Chinese agents dead, and America's satellites burning in the skies, Trapp is propelled back into the game. Eliza Ikeda was taken on his watch, and he's determined to get her back–no matter the cost. The problem is, he has no idea who took her, why, or what they plan to do next.
Trapp knows he's being played. And with the world's only two superpowers hurtling toward the precipice of war, time is running out...
Retirement will have to wait.
Trapp is back in action. And this time, it's personal.

A Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system takes down a passenger jetliner in the skies over Belarus, showering the fields below in burning scrap. As the world begins to mourn the horrific accident, one man—new CIA director, George Lawrence—knows it is anything but. Three hundred innocents were sacrificed in order to snuff out the life of one man: Professor Alexey Sokolov, a senior adviser to the Russian government.
As well as a CIA asset recruited by a ghost known as the Hangman...
Trapp doesn't know any of this. He's hundreds of miles away in rural Tuscany with Eliza Ikeda, and on a mission of his own: recovery. Both are hurting, but this is their chance at a real life. Together. But it doesn't take long for trouble to arrive at their door. He should have known that his past wouldn't let go that easily.
The question is: why did Sokolov run? How did the Russians discover who he truly was—and what secret could possibly justify the murder of three hundred innocent men, women and children to cover up?
Trapp doesn't want to know.
But he sure as hell intends to find out...

The clock is ticking.
In the North Pacific, the crew of a deep-sea recovery ship, the MV Challenger, are mercilessly gunned to death. Only one man survives, adrift in the ocean, and hundreds of miles from land.
In the deserts of Iraq, a clandestine meeting between one of the world's foremost assassins and his ruthless benefactor sets in train a cascade of horrific events that will shape the world for good.
And in America, with two weeks to go before a NATO summit that President Charles Nash hopes will finally bring peace to the long-simmering cold war between Iran and the United States, a network of sleeper agents prepares to bring America to her knees. They are well armed, trained and funded ... and they're prepared to die.
But Jason Trapp is watching.
And he's not done yet.

Hangman (Jason Trapp: Origin Story Book 1)
Oct 1, 2020
by
Jack Slater
$2.99
He wasn't always the Hangman.
But somebody always wanted him dead.
2005
Iraq. A dirty war in a blood-stained land. Insurgents. Kidnappings. Murders. IEDs.
Jason Trapp is done with all of it. After six years in uniform, and three years at war, he's out. Back to an America he barely recognizes. A country that never knew he left.
So he bought a bike and rode out West. Spent days on the road struggling to remember, and nights drinking to forget. He never expected to find a girl. Or a family. Or a home. And yet, somehow, he stumbled on all three.
Maybe that could have been the end of his story. If they'd left him alone. If they hadn't touched his girl.
But the evil Trapp saw in the desert haunted his dreams. Now the monsters who did it are hunting for him.
He just doesn't know it yet.
Hangman is the prequel to the best selling Jason Trapp suspense thriller series. Pick it up. You won't be able to put it down...
