THE JAMES BECK SERIES
The series consists of four complex, hardboiled, character-driven crime thrillers about ex-cons who have joined together to do whatever it takes to survive in a society that wants them dead or back in prison. Their leader, James Beck, is an unjustly convicted man who lives with the cruel reality that it’s us against them. Beck is a man shaped by injustice, sharpened by survival, and driven by a personal code that values loyalty above all else.
