The excitement continues in The Thousand Dollar Villain, the ferocious new action novel in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.
Dylan Kell all but runs the small Arizona town of Kinosis. As the owner and mastermind of Kell Industries – one of America’s largest meat packing plants – almost everyone in the area works directly for him. But with the plant''s huge capacity to process six thousand cattle a day, help also has to be brought in from across the border.
When reports are made that many of these illegal workers never return home, alarm bells are raised. But with no proof that they ever existed on US soil, there is nothing the local authorities can do.
Colt Ryder – the Thousand Dollar Man – is a vigilante-for-hire who travels across the USA with his best pal Kane, an Alsatian-Mastiff cross who is always by his side, through thick and thin. When they hit the town of Kinosis, Colt becomes aware of the missing workers when a concerned citizen begs him for his help.
Having labored in a similar factory after being invalided out of the US Army Rangers, Colt decides to seek employment with Kell Industries, to try and find out what is going on.
Bad memories are soon brought back, but they pale into insignificance compared to what he discovers there – for Kinosis isn’t just a town where animals are slaughtered, and the Thousand Dollar Man is forced to confront a kind of pure villainy that he has never before had to face.
And soon he has to wonder if he will survive what is really happening at Kinosis, or if he will succumb to the same fate as the other workers, and never be seen again?
The Thousand Dollar Villain is a terrifying, gut-wrenching journey into the heart of evil, a thrilling story that you won’t be able to put down!
