AlbakiReads Editorial

An off-the-books FBI investigation with deadly stakes

Former FBI agent Steve Vail is pulled back toward the Bureau when the Rubaco Pentad begins extorting the FBI, using an escalating series of killings to press its demands. With clues alternately suggesting internal corruption and leading nowhere, the case calls for Vail’s particular ability to track down elusive targets while remaining outside official channels. The novel builds its conflict around a pressure-filled investigation: an ex-agent facing a group that treats murder as leverage, while the possibility of a compromised insider complicates every lead. Crime, espionage, and the mechanics of an FBI manhunt shape the book’s central terrain.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of FBI-centered crime thrillers
  • Readers interested in ex-agent protagonists and unofficial investigations
  • Fans of conspiracy-driven suspense involving institutional corruption

Book overview

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING NINA DOBREV AND AARON ECKHART

"Terrific pace, surprises galore....Move over Jack Reacher, here comes The Bricklayer." --James Patterson

Someone will kill and kill again if it means he can fool the FBI . . .

Ex-FBI agent Steve Vail is more than happy to leave the Bureau behind, but they aren't through with him yet. A group called the Rubaco Pentad is holding the FBI up for buckets of cash, with an escalating body count as leverage. The Feds are stumped. Some signs point to a corrupt agent while others lead to completely dead ends. Vail has built a reputation for being able to find anybody anywhere. Now, with no official ties, he's the perfect choice for this under-the-radar investigation. But as Vail well knows, going after people who use killing as a bargaining chip is asking for the worst kind of trouble.

The Bricklayer is a gripping debut of an iconic new hero, and is brought to us with the startling authenticity only a real insider can provide. Noah Boyd has created a mind-twisting maze of clues inside a nonstop thrill ride that is guaranteed to keep readers on edge until the final page.

"Non-stop action and non-stop authenticity make this a real winner." --Lee Child

"Noah Boyd brings his FBI experience to this dazzling thriller." --Patricia Cornwell
