Rocco was once El Toro, a cartel enforcer who broke bones like dry twigs. Now, he is just a welder on the East Side of Saint Paul-a hollowed-out shell of a man living a life of penance, sobriety, and silence.
His life is a simple, brutal algorithm: Go to work. Weld the steel. Don't look back. It runs.
But when a ruthless trafficking ring known as The Vipers sets up shop in the abandoned house next door, Rocco sees something that shatters his carefully constructed cage: a child's hand pressed against the glass.
As a blizzard buries the city in white, Rocco must make a choice. He can call the police and wait for a justice that comes too late, or he can walk down to his basement, unlock the safe, and wake the devil.
Rocci Stucci delivers a piledriver of a novel-a story of fire and ice, blood and redemption, and the terrifying power of a man who has nothing left to lose but his soul.
THE CITIZEN IS DEAD. THE SAINT IS AWAKE.
