The Devil's Breath - Paperback

by John Wilson (Author)

With blood, money and vengeance at stake, trust is the deadliest gamble.

Two years after leaving behind their life of crime, Abel Kane and his crew have tried to go straight-bounty hunting, settling down, and scraping by in the mundane world. But when one of their own is framed by a group of corrupt New Orleans cops, they're forced back into the shadows to clear his name. What starts as a mission to take down a dirty detective quickly unravels into a deadly web of deception, drug cartels, and old enemies lurking in plain sight.

As they fight to clear their friend's name, they uncover a dangerous web of dirty law enforcement, ruthless gangs, and a drug empire that stretches from the Gulf Coast to the city's darkest corners. With old enemies resurfacing and new threats closing in, Abel is forced to navigate a dangerous game of deception and power. Complicating matters is Maria, a fierce and enigmatic woman who sparks something in him he thought was lost-just as his past love, Olivia, walks back into his life.

With time running out, the crew must pull off their most dangerous plan yet. But this time, they're up against a merciless enemy who knows them all too well. Betrayal, bullets, and black magic collide in a final showdown that will test their loyalty, their limits, and whether they can ever truly leave their past behind.
