The epic excitement continues in The Thousand Dollar Unit, the all-action new novel in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.
When Maggie O’Hearn’s husband is killed in a robbery, she expects the cops to help find who did it. When they fail to do so, however, she starts to pay attention to rumors of corruption within the Chicago Police Department; and no longer able to trust law enforcement, she puts out an advert for the services of ex-US Army Ranger turned vigilante-for-hire Colt Ryder, now known only as the Thousand Dollar Man.
Colt is in town, along with his canine buddy Kane, and sees the poster. But when he calls the cellphone number written there, it is the police who answer; Maggie O’Hearn is dead now too, the victim of an alleged drug overdose.
Colt starts to look into her death, and soon also discovers a potential link to crooked cops; and, not knowing how deep the rot goes, he decides to go undercover within the CPD to find out what’s really going on.
Once inside, he soon discovers rumors of brutality, drug running, taxing of criminals, and even murder-for-hire within the department, much of it connected to a special unit that is almost a law unto itself, considered untouchable.
But for the Thousand Dollar Man, there is no such thing; and despite the danger, he will honor the promise he made to the memory of the dead couple, and not rest until he has taken the unit apart, piece by bloody piece.
The Thousand Dollar Unit is a frenetic, violent action thriller that is guaranteed to leave you reeling.
*The Thousand Dollar Unit is the 51st novel in the series, but the Colt Ryder books can be read in any order*
