Synopsis

The author of The Eternal World seamlessly combines history, biotechnology, action and adventure in this high-concept thriller in the spirit of James Rollins, Brad Thor, and Douglas Preston.John Smith has a special gift that seems more like a curse: he can access other peoples thoughts. He hears the the songs stuck in their heads, their most private traumas and fears, the painful memories they can’t let go. The CIA honed his skills until he was one of their most powerful operatives, but Smith fled the Agency and now works as a private consultant, trying to keep the dark potentials of his gift in check—and himself out of trouble.But now Smith is unexpectedly plunged into dangerous waters when his latest client, billionaire software genius Everett Sloan, hires him to investigate a former employee—a tech whiz kid named Eli Preston—and search his thoughts for some very valuable intellectual property he’s stolen. Before John can probe Preston’s mind, his identity is compromised and he’s on a run for his life with Sloan’s young associate, Kelsey.Hunted by shadowy enemies with deep resources and unknown motives, John and Kelsey must go off the grid. John knows their only hope for survival is using his powers to their fullest—even if means putting his own sanity at risk.

Kill File was most definitely a 5* read for me (if we have to rate these things) it is an absolute killer of a novel with a truly engaging main protagonist and a banging addictive story with a twist. John Smith first of all has a great name right? Plus he can read people's minds. Which is a handy ski......more

Goodreads review by Zippergirl on July 17, 2016

Broke out of the pack in the first pages and raced to the jaw-dropping finish line in one reading. John Smith, his real name, can read minds--it's taken him some practice to filter out the day to day rubbish most people think about: food sex work sex et cetera, and hone in on the useful thoughts of......more

Goodreads review by John on July 13, 2019
