Cross the Line

A Colton Cross Contract Novel

De: David Lambert

Narrado por: Joseph Oswald

Colton Cross thought he’d left the shadows behind. For years, he’s lived the perfect cover: a devoted husband, a loving father, a respected small business owner in Knoxville. But beneath the surface lies a man forged in the crucible of war, whose lethal skills once defined him. And when the phone rings late one night, the facade begins to crack.

Tuck Weber—Colton’s former spotter and the only man alive who truly understands him—has resurfaced with a proposition Colton can’t ignore. Known in the underworld as “Sandman,” Tuck operates in a world where the rules don’t apply, where justice is bought and sold, and where predators often walk free. But this time, it’s personal. Tuck’s offer isn’t just about money—it’s about making the kind of impact that keeps men like Bishop Luis Bergoggi from ruining more lives.

Bishop Bergoggi has built a fortress of power around himself, hiding behind the holy robes of the church while preying on the vulnerable. Protected by wealth, influence, and the silence of those he’s blackmailed, he’s evaded justice for years. FBI Agent Henry Dusk has been circling him, piecing together the truth, but the justice system moves too slowly—and often, not at all.

Now, with Bergoggi’s crimes escalating, Tuck gives Colton a choice: step back into the shadows and do what the law can’t—or continue playing house, pretending the world doesn’t need a man like him. It’s a choice that forces Colton to confront the darkest parts of himself and the question he’s been avoiding for years: how far would he go to protect the innocent?

As the lines blur between hero and villain, husband and killer, Colton must navigate a deadly game of deception and betrayal. The stakes have never been higher, and with his family’s safety on the line, Colton will have to rely on every ounce of skill, precision, and control he once used to survive the battlefield. But in this fight, the enemy isn’t always on the other side of the scope—sometimes, it’s the darkness within.
