<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and John Sandford</b></p> <p>Bruno Johnson, a young and inexperienced LA County Deputy Sheriff, is trying to balance his life as the single father of a four-year-old daughter and his responsibilities as a cop in the Violent Crimes Unit. When he and his impetuous partner Ned Kiefer are put on loan to the FBI to help out with a "special problem," Bruno finds himself in a real bind.</p><p>The FBI hands Bruno and Ned a case that the Bureau prefers not to touch-a group of teenage criminals that are being run by a nefarious criminal known as the Darkman. Bruno discovers the identity of the Darkman and is stunned to realize that he is the perpetrator from a lingering unsolved case-a triple homicide that continues to haunt Bruno. </p><p>The problem is how to stop the juvenile criminals without killing kids, and at the same time, avoid being killed by the kids-or by the Darkman-and keep his reckless partner Ned under control.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for the Bruno Johnson Crime Series</b> <p/> "I really loved <b><i>The Disposables</i></b>. It's raw, powerful, and eloquent. It's a gritty street poem recited by a voice unalterably committed to redemption and doing the right thing in a wrong world." --Michael Connelly, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author</p><br><br>"Dark, disturbing, and all too believable, this is the tale of one man's quest for atonement in a world where innocence is a liability." --T. Jefferson Parker, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"Putnam is a master of the gritty realism of law and order at street level. I guarantee that <b><i>The Ruthless</i></b> will grab you by the throat, shove you against the wall, and won't release you until the final, satisfying page." --William Kent Krueger, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"Putnam puts his years of law enforcement experience to good use in <b><i>The Squandered</i></b>, a shocking and intense tale of brotherly love and redemption realized in the midst of moral decay. It's a raw and gritty story I couldn't put down." --C. J. Box, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"Terrific--a smart, well-written, relentless account of a battle against evil, fought by a protagonist who has a real man's flaws, but also shows us the kind of heroism that's real." --Thomas Perry, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"David Putnam provides an insider's knowledge of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. His characters and settings are rich and authentic, and his dialogue is spot on accurate." --Robert Dugoni, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"If you like your crime novels sizzling with realism, sharp dialogue, and pulse-pounding action, this will hit your sweet spot with a sledgehammer. Not since the heyday of Joseph Wambaugh has an ex-cop brought his street experience to the page with such literary power." --Lee Goldberg, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"Reading a novel by David Putnam is almost as good as riding shotgun in a patrol car. He writes what he knows and what he knows is that justice on the mean streets isn't always black and white. Gritty and dark, <b><i>The Reckless</i></b> is a realistic and highly entertaining police procedural." --Robin Burcell, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author<br><br>"Starting fast and keeping the accelerator floored, Putnam deftly keeps readers--and Bruno--on the edge with clever twists and intense action scenes. Loaded with insider details on police procedure and tactics." --Glen Hamilton, Anthony and Edgar Award-winning author<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>During his career in law enforcement, best-selling author <b>David Putnam</b> has done it all: worked in narcotics, violent crimes, criminal intelligence, hostage rescue, SWAT, and internal affairs, to name just a few. He is the recipient of many awards and commendations for heroism. <b><i>The Reckless</i></b> is the sixth novel in the best-selling Bruno Johnson Crime Series, following <b><i>The Disposables</i></b>, <b><i>The Replacements</i></b>, <b><i>The Squandered</i></b>, <b><i>The Vanquished</i></b>, and <b><i>The Innocents</i></b>.
