A disgraced Chicago cop launches a one-man war against organized crime
in this novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of the Doc Ford
series.
A man holds twelve children hostage at gunpoint. Across the street,
James Hawker dangles from a skyscraper, watching the terrorist through a
sniper's scope. Hawker has a shot, and he wants to take it, but the
police brass say no. By the time he gets permission, it will be far too
late. The terrorist opens fire, killing two of the children before
Hawker can take him out. When the smoke clears, the madman is dead, and
Hawker's career is toast. No longer a cop, he's about to become
America's deadliest defender.
The father of one of the murdered children hires Hawker as a private
vigilante, and gives him an unlimited bankroll to wage a nationwide
fight against organized crime. The first battle will be fought in
Florida, where drug smugglers have taken root like a cancer--and Hawker
will have to cut them out.
From the author of Mangrove Lightning and the Hannah Smith series, who
"raises the bar of the action thriller," this is a hard-charging story
of one man's quest for justice (The Miami Herald).
Florida Firefight is the 1st book in the Hawker series, but you may
enjoy reading the series in any order.
