Twenty years ago, Detective Bruno Johnson kicked down a door in South Central LA and entered a nightmare.
A mother dead on the couch. Three children shot. Blood everywhere.
Only one little boy survived.
Bruno pulled him out. Then the system lost him.
Now two little girls have vanished from their homes in LA.
A serial kidnapper is hunting children. He's left a note. He'll only talk to one man.
Deputy Bruno Johnson. The man who once saved him.
But Bruno is now a fugitive, hiding out in Costa Rica with the woman he loves. Doing the right thing always comes with a high price.
If he crosses the border, he could lose everything. But if he stays, two little girls die.
For a man like Bruno, that's no choice at all.
Fast, brutal and relentless, this action-packed crime thriller is perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Greg Hurwitz, Blake Banner and Mark Dawson.
Please note this book was previously published as The Replacements.
Meet Bruno Johnson
Bruno Johnson is a former cop with a dark past. Six foot plus, fists like sledgehammers and a memory full of every face he ever put behind bars. He knows the streets - and the criminals on them - better than anyone. By his side is Marie, an ER nurse, fearless and the only person who can hold Bruno steady. Together they are running a private war: rescuing children from a system that's failed them. Hiding them. Protecting them. Raising them as their own.
Behind a mask of Band-Aids, Bruno slips through the cracks, unnoticed. His reputation follows him like a shadow. With a moral code as brutal as his past, Bruno may be out of the game, but the game isn't done with him. He'll risk everything to right the wrongs that won't let him sleep at night.
