The explosive action continues in The Thousand Dollar Threat, the sensational new adventure in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.

Colt Ryder is the Thousand Dollar Man, an ex-US Army Ranger who wanders America from one town to the next, helping those in need. Travelling only with his dog Kane, he is willing to do the jobs nobody else can - and all he asks for is one thousand dollars a time.

Z.A.M. is one of America’s most popular bands, and has just started its sell-out Winter Tour of the United States. Not everyone is a fan though, as the band has started to receive death threats that seem entirely credible.

Security is being organized by Manuel Lapada, an old friend of Colt’s; but he feels that something more is needed, and asks his former comrade-in-arms for his help.

Embedded in the security team as they travel across the country, trying to protect the band at one venue after another, Colt decides to take a more active role and discover who is behind the threats, before they make good on them. But as he investigates, he soon finds out more than he bargained for; and as the clock starts ticking, only Colt and his loyal dog Kane can stop those threats from being carried out in as violent and spectacular a manner as it is possible to imagine.

The Thousand Dollar Threat is a rollercoaster ride of a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from the gripping opening all the way through to the explosive climax!
