From the writer of SAVAGE SALVATION, starring Robert De Niro and John Malkovich, comes an electrifying prequel to the acclaimed Hondo Velazquez Thriller Series that Kirkus Reviews calls "masterful" and readers say is "mesmerizing," "breathtaking," "binge-worthy reading."
The Fortune Teller Killer has been caught. Sentenced to death. Hondo should be proud. Another predator stopped. A man behind bars who won't kill again.
So why is Hondo convinced he got the wrong man?
Despite the killer's confession, Hondo suspects he's hiding something. Or someone. Convinced that the killings in New Orleans are connected to the killings in the Sangin River Valley, Hondo and his new girl, Jewel, head to Houston to meet with his war interpreter, Zarak, who survived a traumatic ambush in Sangin with Hondo years ago.
Together, they dig into cold cases that resemble the killings that occurred in Afghanistan and New Orleans. Parents killed. Bodies burned. Children taken. But most importantly, trophies left behind. Jewelry. Earrings, necklaces, watches. Always taken from a prior victim and left at the scene of a new crime.
A trail. Like breadcrumbs. Meant to be followed.
As Hondo, Jewel, and Zarak pull at the threads of a tapestry of tragedies, they unravel a truth so dark and dangerous that it threatens to undo not only what they believe about The Fortune Teller Killer, but what they believe about themselves as well.
VIOLENCE IN THE NIGHT is perfect for fans of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, Michael Connelly, and David Baldacci. Written by a Hollywood screenwriter, this pulse-pounding prequel to the Hondo Velazquez Thriller Series delivers cinematic action, relentless suspense, and a mystery that cuts deep.
