Blunt Force is a high-octane action thriller about espionage, betrayal, and survival. When investigative journalists expose corruption on a global scale, the Trigger Man, Mark Pierce, is tasked with protecting them from elite kill teams sent by Syrian and Russian intelligence. From Spain to Luxembourg to Iceland’s frozen wilderness, Pierce battles assassins and uncovers a conspiracy that strikes closer to home than he ever imagined. In this episode of The Thriller Pitch Podcast, Aiden Bailey and I talk about the real-world experiences that shaped the Trigger Man series, how he balances relentless action with character depth, and the global settings that bring his thrillers to life.
