In the second book of the Billy Joe McAllister Series, Billy tries to settle back into his comfortable life in the mountains. He rekindles a high school relationship from 40 years past with the retired local sheriff, Addy Cutright. In her role as sheriff, Addy fought a long-running, successful battle against drug dealers in her county. After retiring, the drug cartel seeks retribution. A corrupt local sheriff's department and a burgeoning drug cartel attack Addy and pull Billy back into the fray. As his romance with Addy develops, dangers escalate from small-town intimidation to a full-blown war, forcing Billy to confront his violent past to protect his newfound future. Billy travels from West Virginia to Detroit to outsmart international drug cartels threatening Addy and his idyllic life in the mountains of West Virginia.
This story is perfect for readers who enjoy fast-paced action thrillers with a seasoned, highly competent protagonist, in the vein of the Jack Reacher or Travis McGee series. It will especially appeal to those who appreciate a story grounded in small-town American life but with high-stakes, explosive conflict. The added layer of a mature romance and themes of second chances will likely resonate with readers looking for more emotional depth in their action heroes.
