The incredible action continues in The Thousand Dollar Witness, the adrenaline-fueled new adventure in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.
As a little girl, Danielle Hunter watched her parents being brutally murdered, right before her eyes. Despite a large police investigation – and her eyewitness testimony – the killer was never found.
Twenty years later, she has done her best to forget the nightmares and move on with her life. But then she sees a man on television that she recognizes from many years before . . .
This man is Ken Barber, a largely unknown senator from Missouri, quickly selected by the President to become his second-in-command, after a scandal forces the current last Vice President from office. On TV regularly now as he awaits confirmation from both Houses, Barber’s face is one that Danielle Hunter will never forget.
Terrified to go to the authorities with her accusations, given Barber’s power and reach, she turns to the one person she thinks might be able to help her.
Colt Ryder is the Thousand Dollar Man, a vigilante-for-hire who travels across America, helping people in need for a thousand dollars a time. Accompanied by his loyal dog Kane, they are the last hope of desperate citizens ignored or marginalized by the cops and the government, taking on jobs that nobody else can.
Colt agrees to investigate Hunter’s claims, although he’s not convinced that her memory of events is entirely perfect after so many years. Can she really identify Barber as the killer, two decades later?
But as Colt delves into the mystery, what he discovers runs much deeper than a single twenty-year-old murder. Indeed, he unearths far more troubling – and dangerous – information, and something that threatens to strike right at the heart of the American nation itself.
The Thousand Dollar Witness is a thrilling, captivating tale of greed, murder and intrigue like you’ve never read before!
