Shadow Drift

Shadow Drift
A Cole Rainer Thriller – Book One

A missing girl. A dead man floating in a Thai canal. One former soldier with nothing left to lose.

Cole Rainer is a ghost—off the grid, off the record, and halfway across the world. After years in Australia’s elite Special Forces, he’s left the battlefield behind, trading warzones for the humid chaos of Southeast Asia. But peace doesn’t come easy to a man like Rainer.

When a backpacker vanishes from a Patong guesthouse and a body turns up with military precision written all over it, Rainer is pulled into a brutal underworld of sex trafficking, corruption, and revenge. The local police are compromised. The embassy doesn’t want a scandal. And someone powerful wants Rainer dead before he asks the wrong question twice.

From the neon-lit alleys of Phuket to the hidden mountain trails of Chiang Mai, Shadow Drift is a pulse-pounding chase across Thailand’s darkest corners. With nothing but a pack, a past he can’t shake, and an instinct for survival, Rainer goes off-grid to do what he does best: hunt.

But as the bodies stack up and ghosts from his own past resurface, Rainer realizes this isn’t just another mission. It’s personal. And the shadows chasing him may be darker than anything he’s ever faced.

Raw. Relentless. Real.
Shadow Drift marks the explosive beginning of the Cole Rainer series—a gripping international action thriller for fans of Lee Child, Gregg Hurwitz, and Mark Greaney.
