Paris, 1974. A notorious California cult, shattered in a spectacular drug-fueled bloodbath, has resurfaced in the heart of Paris-and they're planning a new massacre that could bring the City of Light to its knees.

Undercover CIA operative Jean Jones is the only one who knows the truth, but when she's framed for the brutal murders of three cult members, her mission-and her life-are put on the line. Jean's only hope rests in Brad James, the CIA's secret weapon, a pop singer with a proven talent for taking down evildoers.

With the clock ticking, Brad teams up with trusted ally Chuck Hall. Together they discover a web of corruption, drugs, and human trafficking that stretches far deeper than anything they could have imagined.

Things get personal when the hunt for the ruthless cult leader becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse and a mysterious assassin starts picking off the cult's inner circle, one by one.

Cult Stalker is a heart-pounding, high-octane thriller that drags you through a labyrinth of betrayal, danger, and deadly secrets, where no one can be trusted and every move could be your last.
