He’s back! On July 23, 2024, Scot Harvath returns to action in Shadow of Doubt, the latest must-read thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor.
Harvath, a former Navy SEAL turned counterterrorism operative and one of the most beloved and popular characters in fiction today, first appeared in Thor’s acclaimed 2002 debut novel, The Lions of Lucerne. Since then, he’s gone on to star in twenty-two books to date, including 2023’s Dead Fall, which—as Thor has become known for delivering throughout his iconic career—features a plot ripped straight from the headlines as Harvath attempts to track a rogue Russian mercenary unit through the war-ravaged borderlines of Ukraine. Harvath also cameoed in Thor’s 2010 spinoff thriller, The Athena Project, a story that features an all-female-led Delta Force team.
Shadow of Doubt, the twenty-third book in Thor’s franchise, is one of the most anticipated new releases of 2024, and for good reason. Currently, Brad Thor is in the midst of an unprecedented run of high-octane, can’t-miss thrillers, and in a genre that’s seen new authors and their characters find success and make a lot of noise in recent years, there’s no doubt that the thriller world still moves through Thor, one of the all-time greats, who sits at the top of the field as the reigning king of faction.
Before we get to the book details and cover art, it should be noted that Thor revealed both exclusively via his free newsletter, where he hosts contests and offers monthly prizes and giveaways to readers who’ve subscribed.

There’s even a storefront where readers can buy Thor/Harvath swag. So check that out if you haven’t already.
