Rumor has it there’s a Russian you can turn to if you’re very rich, and need dirty deeds done without a trace. The CIA calls him Ivan the Ghost because he’s operated for years without leaving a trail or revealing his face.
Until now.
For the first time in history, Ivan appears to have slipped. The CIA’s new director sets Agent Kyle Achilles on an intercept course, surveilling the daughter of a British politician. Then Ivan pulls off a masterful con, and Emily vanishes.
With Emily’s life, his career, and America’s reputation at stake, Achilles partners with an unlikely new agent he meets in France. Together they attempt to get one step ahead of the legendary Russian, while rubbing elbows with the ultra-rich in a high-tech international chase.

A fast moving and enjoyable short story.
Gotta confess I don’t remember which book in the “Achilles1″series I got from BOOKBUB. BUT I was surprised Kindle had all of them. So I started with this one and finished it in two days…not just CHAASING IVAN….but the whole series so far.
Then trouble entered….my dear lovely wife decided to read it because she “liked” the book cover !!!!!!!!!!!
Now she wants more BLACK OPS Books….
BOOKBUB I really need you and THE BUZZ……
By the way all of TIGNER’S work has so far been real HOOTS! You gotta try one.
Now all I need to figure out is MRS DOG’S evolution after 41 years….
Now this is scary…….
Excellent book-page turner -really an enjoyable read
This review is for the audio book.
I really enjoyed this book and can quite easily see it being made for the big screen as there is plenty of action a bit like mission impossible or a Bond film. But as it hasn’t made it there (yet) I would highly recommend the next best thing getting the audio book. I like the characters and every thing happens at such a fast pace that they get out of trouble only to fall straight into the next.
When an assassin called the ghost comes out of hiding there is only one man they can send to catch him Kylie Achilles. The problem is nobody knows who the ghost is and he has never been caught on camera so they don’t even know what he looks like. The only information they have is his next target will be the daughter of a British politician. What starts in England soon goes wrong when she disappears and Achilles has to travel to Monaco and blend in with the rich and famous in order to rescue the girl and capture a ghost.
I liked the narrator and always think stories read by Dick Hill are going to be great and this one was no exception. I am off to start the next book in the Achilles series.
Enjoyed the book….some of the action seemed a bit implausible but, hey, this is a novel and good fun.
One of the Achilles adventures, they’re all good!
Tigner is a wonderful writer. Always enjoy his books
Fast paced, plot twists, and fun. The good guy wins!
One of the best books I’ve ever read.
I just started reading Tim Tigner’s books and find them thrilling.
Good read
Slow
Not going to set the world on fire or be the best book that you will read, but it s entertaining.
I look forward to more books by this author.
Good starter story to a series of books. Looking forward to reading the others.
Excellent read, entertaining and that is why I read thrillers. Liked the characters. Will read more from this author
not a book, not even a short story. Whatever it is, it ‘s bad.
another great Achilles tale!
Good read, believable characters, made me want to buy others in the series
Nicely written!
A bit wordy now and then but easy to follow.
