For a war-haunted bounty hunter, flirting with death is the only thing keeping him alive, in this powerful new crime thriller by "a knock-em-dead writer"(Anthony Neil Smith, author of Slow Bear). Jack Keller is a man on the edge. Numb from the horrors of Desert Storm, he lives only for the adrenaline rush of his work as a bounty hunter. But when a routine job to capture a petty criminal spirals out of control, Keller is thrust into a brutal whirlwind of violence and revenge. Chasing his target, Keller must deal with a pair of enraged siblings bent on avenging their father's murder, a vicious cop with a twisted sense of justice, and his conflicted partner Marie, torn between her attraction to Keller and her loyalty to a corrupt police force. As their lives intersect in a high-stakes game of betrayal and blood, Keller finds himself at the center of a deadly showdown where the only rule is survival . . . Explosive, relentless, and filled with unforgettable characters, The Devil's Right Hand is a razor-sharp Southern thriller that will grip you from the first shot fired to the final breath.

Fourth in the critically acclaimed series featuring bounty hunter Jack Keller, "a fun character to root for and more than a little reminiscent of Jack Reacher" (Library Journal). After years in exile, living a quiet life in the desert, Keller is pulled back into the fray when Angela-his friend and former employer-tracks him down with a desperate plea for help. Oscar Sanchez, Angela's husband and Keller's best friend, has vanished while searching for the sons he was trying to reunite with their family. As Keller dives into the investigation, he's forced to confront not only ruthless human traffickers, drug lords, and a violent white supremacist cult, but also his own buried demons-and his unresolved feelings for Angela. From the brutal border towns of Mexico to the swampy prison camps of South Carolina, Keller will face enemies driven by greed, power, and a twisted sense of righteousness. But one thing is certain: when Jack Keller is on your trail, he's not just bringing justice-he's bringing hell with him . . .

Bounty hunter Jack Keller thought he could leave the chaos behind-he was wrong. Fifth in the gritty thriller series from the author of Devils and Dust. Back in the desert, Jack Keller is trying to rebuild his life, piece by piece, and heal from the physical and emotional scars of the past. But trouble has a way of finding him. When Jack steps in to save a stranger from a brutal assault, he learns the man carries a message from the father who abandoned him-a message tied to the buried trauma Jack has carried since the first Gulf War. But his dying father has secrets of his own, and powerful enemies are determined to keep them hidden. At the center of the storm is a cunning and ruthless heiress to a political dynasty, willing to unleash any weapon to silence Jack-including an ex-government operative with a license to kill. Hunted and alone, Jack is forced to confront the darkness he's fought to keep at bay for years. As his demons surface, his rage threatens to destroy everything in its path. When the dust settles, there will be hell to pay-and no one will escape unscathed. Praise for J. D. Rhoades "J. D.

Bounty hunter Jack Keller faces his most ruthless and cunning adversary yet in this explosive thriller. Jack Keller is a seasoned fugitive hunter, thriving on the adrenaline rush of chasing down those who run from the law. But when a young girl goes missing-and Keller discovers her father is an AWOL Delta Force operative-he knows this is no ordinary case. A Gulf War veteran scarred by his past, Keller has just begun to heal, to live, and to love again. Taking on this high-stakes kidnapping could jeopardize everything, including his fragile relationship with Marie, who hopes for a future with a man still haunted by war. As Keller dives deeper into the shadows of a secretive group of rogue commandos, he realizes he's not just fighting to save a young girl's life, but also to battle his own demons. With danger at every turn and the clock ticking, Jack Keller must decide how far he'll go to uncover the truth-knowing that this time, the consequences might be too high.

Bounty hunter Jack Keller can't outrun his past. Sixth in the series from the author who "writes action as well as anybody in the business" (C. J. Box, #1 New York Times–bestselling author). Back in rural North Carolina, Keller is trying to build a life beyond bloodshed-a steady job, a relationship with Francis, the son he never knew. But Francis's half-brother Ben still blames Keller for a day of fire and death that once changed everything. Then Keller steps in to protect a refugee girl, and hell follows. A ruthless trio of sadistic female assassins has come hunting, and they're not just after Keller-they're after Ben, Marie, and Francis. This time, Keller won't stand alone. But when the bullets start flying, he'll do what he's always done: pick up the gun, take the fight to them, and make damn sure they regret coming after the people he loves. Fast, brutal, and relentless-perfect for fans of Lee Child and David Baldacci. Praise for J. D.
