The New Recruit

Son of a notorious crime boss, 15-year-old Zac Thorne broke the sacred rule: never snitch. Now his family wants him dead, his identity is wiped clean, and he’s buried deep in protective custody. That’s until Python, a top-secret government agency, gives him a way out. Zac is not wild about working for the law, but it could be his only route home. When his first op goes spectacularly sideways, Zac and his fellow agents find themselves battling to survive in a mobster-infested death trap. Zac must confront the truth – about his enemies, his allies, and himself – if any of them are to see out the night.
