<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Bruno Johnson, shaken to his core, but still a formidable force--an unrelenting focus on doing the right thing--unwilling to let anyone or anything stand in his way</b> <p/> Pushed to his emotional limit, Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy Bruno Johnson struggles to hold his family together while immersed in his unrelenting career. His daughter, Olivia, is a teen mom to twin toddlers; her common-law husband, Derek Sams, is a thug; and one of their little boys has disappeared under his care. <p/> The overwhelming intensity demanded of Bruno on this personal level is compounded by the brutal shotgun murder of a superior court judge and his wife, both friends of his. Bruno cannot ignore these violent crimes even though he's supposedly off the law enforcement grid--undercover--working an illegal gun sting. <p/> Tragedy strikes Bruno's life on all fronts: family, friends, and professional--however, none of these colossal forces can match the unthinkable catastrophe that will forever dominate Bruno's life. <p/><b>Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and Michael Connelly</b> <p/> While all of the novels in the Bruno Johnson Crime Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: <p/><i>The Disposables <br> The Replacements <br> The Squandered <br> The Vanquished <br> The Innocents <br> The Reckless <br> The Heartless <br> The Ruthless</i> <br><i>The Sinister</i> (coming February 2022)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"[<b><i>The Ruthless</i></b> is] a true thriller that is fast-paced, with twists and turns you will never see coming." --D.
