The legend begins . . .
The Thousand Dollar Man is the first explosive all-action adventure in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.
The Thousand Dollar Man is a myth. An urban legend, his appearance prayed for by the poor and downtrodden of the United States. They say he goes from town to town, helping people who have problems. Any kind of problems.
They put adverts in their local paper, put notices up in the local stores, always hoping that one day he will walk through their town and see them, act upon them. And if he does – and as long as the client can gather together a thousand dollars to pay - their problems will disappear.
But it wasn’t always that way.
Colt Ryder was let down by everyone. A military veteran, scarred both mentally and physically by his experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, after being medically discharged he tried for years to make an honest living. But after a series of menial jobs, he was eventually fired from a meat packing factory for protecting a fellow worker from a bullying boss. And when his home was then burglarized, his savings and possessions all taken, something in him snapped.
Homeless and unemployed, driven by anger and resentment against the system, he decided to change, to revert to his old skills and cross the Americas helping those who need him, those with nobody else to stand up for them.
All he asks for is one thousand dollars a job.
Whatever it is.
Whatever it takes.
The Thousand Dollar Man is the start of an exciting, high-octane action thriller series, perfect for fans of Jack Reacher!
