What this book is about
A killer is targeting people connected to Scot Harvath — former colleagues, assets, people he cares about. The attack on everyone around him suggests the true target is Harvath himself. The First Commandment is the sixth Scot Harvath novel — Thor's most personal series entry; the threat to people Harvath cares about rather than strangers.
