THE JAMES BECK SERIES

The James Beck Series is a set of complex, hardboiled, character-driven crime thrillers about ex-cons who have joined together to defy society’s norms and a justice system designed to break them. Their leader is an unjustly convicted man who lives and breathes with the cruel realization that it’s us against them.

Set in New York City’s streets, back rooms, and places most never encounter, James Beck uses his intelligence, will to survive, and personal moral code to outfight, outsmart, and out last the forces that evil men and an uncaring society pits against him and his loyal crew.

Beck isn’t a cop. He isn’t a highly-train military man. He’s something unique – a man shaped by injustice, sharpened by survival, and driven by a personal code that values loyalty above all else.
