Runaway Stevie just wants to be reunited with his dad, but he’s embarked upon a very dangerous journey.
Given his own family history, Justin Martello can relate to a kid who wants to find his father, so when Stevie’s mother asks the former special operator to track down her son, Martello feels honour bound to help.
Martello quickly discovers Stevie has fallen in with gangsters, wannabe Bloods who are in the midst of a gang war with rival Crips.
But there’s division within the Bloods as well. Gang boss Tyrone Moody is being manipulated by a seemingly-loyal Kieran Hopper, and Hopper, who believes he’s possessed by a demon, has a terrible urge to destroy – everyone and everything.
So when Hopper tells Stevie he’s not going to Jamaica to see his father, he’s flying to Peru to bring back drugs, Stevie realises he’s made a terrible mistake.
With the clock ticking, can Martello rescue Stevie before the city is consumed in a night of violence?
Gangster, U.S.A. is the third Justin Martello adventure. It can be read alone or as part of the series. Martello returns in Live Not by Lies.
