When former police officer Ryan Bauer finds himself behind bars in Dallas County, the last person he expects to trust is John Reese, a hardened combat veteran with demons of his own. But fate has other plans. Behind prison walls, an unlikely brotherhood forms – one that will be tested in blood on the streets of Dallas.

After John's stepson crosses the wrong drug dealer, a simple betrayal escalates into a deadly game of revenge. Now free from prison, Ryan and John find themselves caught in a violent web where family loyalty meets criminal vengeance. As the drug dealer's retribution threatens everyone they love, both men must confront impossible choices: between honor and survival, between protecting their families and doing what's right.

In this gritty crime thriller, two men from opposite sides of the law discover that some bonds are forged in fire, and redemption often comes at a brutal price. From Dallas County's unforgiving jail cells to its merciless streets, this tale of loyalty, revenge, and unexpected friendship proves that sometimes the most dangerous choices are the only ones we can make.

Perfect for fans of Dennis Lehane and Don Winslow, this explosive novel explores how the threads of fate can weave together lives in the most unexpected – and deadly – ways.
