Synopsis/Details

GHOST WARRANT is a high-stakes, character-driven action thriller that blends the gritty realism of Sicario with the ensemble intensity of The Dirty Dozen and the relentless momentum of The Rock.

When a covert government unit known as “Ghost Warrant” deploys a team of deniable operatives—convicts with specialized military backgrounds—to eliminate a rogue whistleblower, the mission appears routine. But when the target, Daniel Voss, reveals that their past operations were not just classified—but fabricated to justify global interventions—the team begins to question everything they’ve done.

As they move through a hostile foreign city under constant surveillance, the operatives uncover a hidden program designed to manufacture instability, then “correct” it through targeted violence. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: they were never sent to stop Voss—they were sent to replace him.

Hunted by their own command structure and cut off from support, the team fractures under pressure as loyalties shift, truths surface, and survival instincts clash with conscience. Led by the disciplined but increasingly conflicted Mercer, they must decide whether to complete their mission—or expose a system built on lies, no matter the global consequences.

In a final, explosive confrontation, the team faces the architect of the program, forcing a choice between control and truth—one that could destabilize the world or finally hold it accountable.

During my law-enforcement career, I investigated serious crimes and learned the delicate art of negotiating hostage situations—experience that continues to influence the tension, authenticity, and characters found throughout my work. My newest novel and screenplay, ALL IS NOT CALM, is a Christmas action thriller with a simple commercial hook: “Die Hard on a luxury cruise ship.” On Christmas Eve, a former Coast Guard commander must save his estranged wife—the ship’s captain—and hundreds of passengers when a vengeful hijacker turns the vessel into a weapon aimed at a fuel terminal.
