Bodycount Brian

Matt Bentley

Brian Rigby was having the worst day of his life – and then things got really bad. Mistaken for a legendary killer and forced into a daring heist, he’s out of his league and running out of time. His only way out? Become the most dangerous man alive

British car salesman Brian Rigby has hit a wall. It’s his fortieth birthday and he’s caught his wife in bed with the neighbor, been kicked out of his house, and his boss at the dealership Brian calls the Glass Gulag has fired him.

Licking his wounds in a cheap London hotel, he is targeted by a mysterious criminal enforcer known as The Wraith. On the run and bleeding out from a knife wound, he just needs to assume Brian’s identity for a few hours. But when The Wraith dies and Brian passes out, an underworld cleaning crew arrives and mixes them up and Brian is put on a private jet to the US.

He is met upon landing by the beautiful and deadly Sanibel Larsen, a former Danish intelligence agent turned broker for The Wraith who delivers shocking news. She informs the stunned Brian that a deadly crew is expecting The Wraith to help them pull off an audacious, high-stakes bank heist, and if Brian can’t convince them that he is the fabled stone-cold killer, his luck - and his life - will run out.

Trapped in a game of deception and survival, Brian must summon every ounce of his charm, wit, and salesman swagger to bluff his way through a world of hardened criminals. As bodies pile up, can an ordinary man outsmart extraordinary danger?
