Description
Book SynopsisBest-selling author of the Bruno Johnson Crime Series
Ex-cop, Ex-con, Committed Vigilante . . . With a Soft Spot for Kids Bruno Johnson, a tough street cop, member of the elite violent crimes task force, feared by the bad guys, admired by the good, finds his life derailed when a personal tragedy forces him to break the law. Now he’s an ex-con and his life on parole is not going well. He is hassled by the police at every opportunity, and to make matters even more difficult, his former partner, Robby Wicks, now a high-ranking detective, bullies him into helping solve a high profile crime—unofficially, of course.
Bruno’s girlfriend, Marie, brings out the good, the real Bruno, and even though they veer totally outside the law, he and Marie dedicate themselves to saving abused children, creating a type of underground railroad for neglected kids at risk,
disposable kids.
Caught between police brutality, the demands of his rogue ex-partner, and the precarious circumstances of the children, Bruno is forced into a brutality of his own as he pulls out every stop to save these children from a warped system of justice.

The Sinister Trade Review"For those who crave fast-paced, noir-like thrillers, The Disposables is a novel that won't disappoint." Foreword Reviews
"This novel gives off heatthere are a number of unique and startling plot twists. But what really recommends the book is the high-octane presentationthe occasional clunky sentence doesn't detract. Rather, they add somehow to the sense of urgency and authenticity, the feeling that this is the real deal, set down by somebody who was there and still hasn't gotten over it. The SWAT-like assault on the crime house is an impressive set piece." Booklist
