From the New York Times-bestselling author of the Doc Ford series:
Hawker wages a vigilante war on traffickers preying on illegal Mexican
immigrants.
Disenchanted former Chicago cop James Hawker prefers justice his way:
quick. He has the muscle, the experience, and the street smarts.
Supported by a benefactor with the same motivations, Hawker also has the
means to wash the scum off the streets in every city in the country.
As judge, jury, and executioner, America's most dangerous vigilante now
finds himself in a squalid dive bar on the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande. Blind drunk and stinking of mescal, he begs a stranger to help
him cross the border. Next thing Hawker knows, he's chained up in the
back of a truck with other desperate and defenseless vagrants--men and
women, both--for a hundred-mile trip north to Houston. Hawker has been
captured by human traffickers. And that's exactly what he wants.
Spearheaded by a millionaire Texas rancher, the highly organized slavery
ring is an insidious business profiting from Mexican labor: Sell off the
vulnerable immigrants as field hands, house servants, and prostitutes.
To attack the Houston slavers, Hawker must infiltrate them. But in doing
so, he's placed himself right in the line of fire.
Houston Attack is the 5th book in the Hawker series, but you may enjoy
reading the series in any order.
