Maybe A Cookie Or Two

LAPD has a name for cop killers. Dead Men Walking.

FBI Agent Dean Blackwood gave up the undercover life for a desk job, traded whiskey for coffee, and swore he’d never look back.

Until he found his best friend bleeding out.

They had just stepped off the sand, surfboards under their arms, when the gunfire erupted.

Dean ran after the shooters, instincts firing before reason. By the time he got back, Joey was on the ground, blood pooling in the surf.

But Joey was just the beginning. Someone is hunting down members of an elite LAPD unit, one by one.

The LAPD calls it a string of unsolved murders. Dean calls it a pattern.

A grieving widow begs for justice. A relentless reporter digs where she shouldn’t. The deeper Dean goes, the more bodies stack up, and the more he realizes this isn’t just another case. The truth is buried under layers of corruption, and someone is willing to kill to keep it there.

Dean tried to start over, but they shouldn’t have killed his friend.

This time, there’s no going back.

Packed with high-speed chases, mob bosses, brutal fight scenes, and explosions, Drive to Kill is perfect for fans of fast-paced action, lone wolf antiheroes, and edge-of-your-seat thrillers. This is book 1 of 8 in the Dean Blackwood FBI Mystery Thriller series.
