The adventures continue in The Thousand Dollar Judge, the intense, violent and exciting new story in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.
Looking for peace and quiet in a small town in Alabama, Colt Ryder – an ex-US Army Ranger turned vigilante-for-hire – is forced to save a woman from being attacked by a group of locals. He finds himself arrested for his troubles though, and when presented before the town judge, it turns out to be a kangaroo court and he is sentenced to ten years of hard labor.
He is sent to work on a construction project in the swamps and bayous, part of a chain gang all falsely arrested and imprisoned, and all by the same man, Judge Brian Hesketh.
It is clear that Hesketh – the presiding judge in eleven different towns – is the de facto ruler of Heritage County, and is building an empire on the back of his prisoners’ grueling efforts. And to Colt, the answer to this is also clear – escape from the chain gang with the help of his canine best buddy Kane, and bring real justice to the ruthless Judge Hesketh.
But chained hand and foot together with his fellow prisoners, under armed guard and being worked to death under the scorching Alabama sun, escape is going to be hard won; and with every local sheriff and police department in Hesketh’s pocket, helping to support the crooked judge’s crazed ambitions, taking the fight to the man will be more than dangerous - it might even prove fatal.
The Thousand Dollar Judge is the latest all-action thriller from J.T. Brannan, a supercharged adrenaline-rush of a novel that you won’t be able to put down!
