Colt Ryder and Kane are back, in The Thousand Dollar Brawl, the thrill-a-minute new novel in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.
Across the United States, a new epidemic is spreading one of widespread, unmitigated violence. In towns and cities all over the country, disaffected youths out of work, let down by the system are meeting up and engaging in large-scale fighting. At these events held in woods, empty warehouses, old factories, open fields the young men are separated by the criminal groups which run these brawls into two gangs; and then they engage in anything-goes combat until one side is finished. Injuries are common, even death.
Samantha Moores son was involved in one of these battles, and was beaten to death by members of the opposing side. She has seen the brutal, heart-wrenching video of the event, but when she goes to the police desperate to have these dehumanizing mass brawls shut down they fail to offer her any kind of help. And for people ignored by the authorities, there is only one recourse . . .
Colt Ryder is the Thousand Dollar Man, an ex-Army Ranger turned vigilante-for-hire who travels the United States with his loyal dog Kane, helping people when they have run out of options. He answers Moores call, and agrees to investigate these brutal, illegal combat matches.
But investigating and shutting them down are two very different things, and Colt is forced to confront a national movement backed by a network of criminals, along with corrupt local officials not to mention some of the fiercest and most violent street fighters the country has to offer.
And with the odds stacked against him, this is one fight that Colt might not walk away from.
