Tracer by Jason Dean
4.0
Jason Dean’s ‘Tracer’ is the first instalment of the Korso Thriller series. The series follows an international assassin on his adventures as a salvage operative who is tasked with finding missing or stolen items with incredibly high values. The items can range from high-priced paintings to shipments of drugs and weapons.
Throughout this first instalment, Jason Korso is used to laying low and hiding in plain sight due to the nature of his work, having so many different identities that he struggles to remember the name he was born with. Korso prefers to work alone to ensure that his identity is never leaked to the wrong people and that he cannot be tracked whilst tracking thieves of dodgy benefactors himself. This journey takes Korso to beautiful Bermuda where he has been blackmailed to retrieve a shipment of stolen overpriced caviar by an old foe. Either retrieve the package or die. There is also a hint of romance within this thriller as Korso, out of no choice of his own, is accompanied by Natasha, one of his blackmailer’s accomplices meaning that this mission would be different to any he has undertaken before.
This novel is filled with fast-paced action and scenes of suspense that kept me hooked throughout. There are many twists throughout which left me reading and unable to put it down. This was my first read by Jason Dean and I will certainly be reading more in the future. Tracer left me wanting to follow Jason Korso on more of his adventures to see what trouble he can get into next.
