Product Description

Product Description

Ex-cons DeWayne and Leonard thought it was a simple plan: Swipe the payroll from a local construction company and make off with easy cash. Pity they left the owner dead. Bigger pity is that the owner's son is a violent drug-dealer who's crazier than the low-caliber ex-cons
he's vowed to nail--along with anyone else who gets in his way.

Bounty hunter and war vet Jack Keller is the perfect man for his job. With a brain full of combat nightmares, he's primed for every hunt, keen for the heady scent of gunfire, and high on the release each takedown brings. His new quarry is bail-jumper DeWayne, but even Keller isn't
prepared for where this chase is going to take him.

Caught in a violent vendetta between two trigger-happy rednecks and a psycho blinded by rage, Keller's soon spiraling into a revenge plot set to explode in the North Carolina backwoods. Add to this murderous mix a local cop with his own agenda and his beautiful partner who's hot for men on the edge, and someone's bound to see hell before the night is over.

The unconventional adventures of bounty hunter Jack Keller 15 Mar 2005
By Henry W. Wagner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Standing at the center of this bruising novel is the relentless bounty hunter Jack Keller, a Gulf war veteran struggling with post-traumatic stress syndrome. Keller is pursuing DeWayne Puryear, who skipped bail on a lesser charge shortly before killing Raymond and John Lee Oxendine's father during a robbery. Accompanied by his cousin Leonard, DeWayne goes on the lam. Unfortunately for them, however, they've incurred the wrath of the resourceful and tenacious Oxendine brothers, who seek revenge for their father's murder.

The hapless robbers take refuge in the home of DeWayne's sister Crystal, proceeding to squander most of the robbery money on drugs. One evening, Leonard answers the doorbell to find the Oxendines waiting outside. Right on the Oxendines' heels is Keller, who has also tracked the Puryears to their hideout. A vicious firefight breaks out, forever altering the lives of those involved. The remainder of the novel deals with the surviving parties' dogged pursuit of one another, some seeking a payday, others revenge. The chase is not without its interesting detours; the consequences and the final death toll won't become apparent until the final pages.

Rhoades knows how to keep an audience's attention, never stinting on the well-choreographed action. Surprising for a novel that relies so much on explosive set pieces, however, is that it doesn't neglect character development; each player is profoundly affected by the violence that surrounds them. The winning mix of pulse pounding action and intriguing central characters will have readers anxiously anticipating the author's next offering.

Fast-paced action 10 April 2005
By Jerry Saperstein - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Jack Keller is a bounty hunter. He's looking for a bail jumper. The bail jumper, not exactly a bright bulb, intends to rob an old man . . . and ends up murdering him along with his dim-witted cousin.

Keller has some psychological baggage of his own, which actually gets in the way of the story at times.

But Keller's pursuit of the criminals is what makes the novel a page turner. The action is fast, furious and plausible for the most part. On the whole, a fun book.

The intense beginning of a series: The Devil's Right Hand 16 Aug 2005
By Kevin Tipple - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Haunted by a nightmarish experience in Desert Storm and suffering post-traumatic stress disorder, Jack Keller is barely alive. Physically alive is one thing but his emotional life and his ability to connect with others is in strong jeopardy. For this self imposed loner and societal outcast, the only thing that keeps him going is the thrill of the hunt which results in the ultimate capture of his target. Work as a bounty hunter for H&H, a North Carolina bail bonds company keeps him working and alive, but it isn't much of a life, as he has not much passion for anything else. Other than Angela, the enigmatic owner of H&H who has her own very heavy load of emotional baggage and isn't yet ready to cross that line from employer to lover with Jack Keller.

Keller's personal life begins to change in an unlikely way when he goes on the hunt for a habitual criminal, Dewayne, whose only ability is incredible stupidity in regards to his crimes and extreme violence. Stupidity that most recently caused Dewayne to kill an elderly man in the course of robbing him for a small cash payroll of a few thousand dollars. Stupidity that caused the son's of the deceased man, Raymond and John Lee, to begin their own violent hunt for Dewayne. Both the sons and Keller have a good idea where Dewayne is headed. Keller needs him alive so that he can take care of the bond money because the Old West adage of bring them back dead or alive no longer works. Raymond and John Lee want Dewayne dead and don't care who gets hurt in the process.

Throw in a violent out of control cop, a love interest in an unlikely place, and a few other story ingredients and the result is a fast paced intense read from start to finish. Told through constantly shifting point of view, this tale is part mystery, part thriller, and all intense. The story unravels before the reader's eyes with sufficient plot twists and turns to keep one guessing to the very last page. Through it all is the complex and multi-faceted character of Jack Keller, a man prone to violence who might like it just a little too much but at the same time is aware not only of his faults, but that sometimes, extreme violence is the only answer.
