The explosive action continues in The Thousand Dollar Manhunt, the incredible new adventure in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.

On a trip south of the border, ex-US Army Ranger Colt Ryder – now working as a vigilante-for-hire known as the Thousand Dollar Man – winds up on the wrong side of a group of corrupt cops. A long-time enemy of the Mexican cartels, Colt is taken by the cops to an execution ground where the all-powerful Sinaloa Cartel finally plan to get their vengeance.

Colt manages to escape this death trap with the assistance of his canine best buddy, Kane; but trapped in Mexico, without money, weapons, friends or resources, getting safely back to the United States is going to be a real problem.

Under pressure from the cartel, a nationwide manhunt is put into operation, involving not just the violent drug gangs and their partners, but local cops, the federal police, and even the military.

With the entire country on the lookout for him, with orders to take him dead or alive, and hundreds of miles from home, Colt knows that his chances of making it out of there in one piece are slim indeed. But in the face of one of the largest manhunts Mexico has ever seen, the Thousand Dollar Man knows one thing – he is not going to give up without one hell of a fight.

The Thousand Dollar Manhunt is a sensational, explosive and stunningly violent thriller that is sure to have you reading all night long!
