Josh Kendall
If there is one thing former soldier-turned-private security contractor Lachlan Smith knows, it is this: do as you are told.
Following a brutal tour in Afghanistan and the untimely death of his former handler and lover, Helen Gray, Smith is sent to Ethiopia to protect a wealthy family. He arrives in Addis Ababa, heartbroken and full of questions—about Helen’s death, about the mind-altering training they endured together, about Cornerstone, the shadowy organization that recruited them both.
As Smith navigates the volatile ambitions of the Sebadi family he begins to realize that Cornerstone doesn’t just deploy men like Smith into chaos—it shapes the chaos itself. And its assets are expendable.
Josh Kendall’s electrifying debut I'm Not Here to Hunt Rabbits is a razor-edged spy thriller and a labyrinthine puzzle-box, exploring the cost of obedience, the weight of grief, and the brutal calculus of loyalty.

Critic reviews
“I’m Not Here to Hunt Rabbits is a smart, propulsive spy novel with wonderful echoes of masters like John LeCarre and Graham Greene. Josh Kendall's novel stakes out a physical and emotional territory all of its own, going to places where other writers haven’t been prepared to go. As readers we get delightfully caught between shifting lands and landscapes in crisp and sensuous prose." –Colum McCann, National Book Award-winning author of Let the Great World Spin
“A novel so fast and mysterious that I felt almost haunted while reading. Honestly, it’s the Graham Greene novel I’ve always wanted and the John le Carré novel I never found. This is a serious gem of a first novel.” –Willy Vlautin, author of The Left and the Lucky
“I began reading this last night and finished this morning. Yes, I’m Not Here to Hunt Rabbits is weird, intense as hell, creepy and unpredictable. But it’s also an unforgettable exercise in risk and regret. It made me imagine that I was accompanying Rimbaud in Abyssinia running guns for King Menelek.” –Barry Gifford, author of Wild at Heart, screenwriter for Lost Highway, and founder of the Black Lizard imprint
