The Devil's Right Hand by J.D. Rhoades


The Devil's Right Hand by J.D. Rhoades

In this first novel featuring Desert Storm veteran Jack Keller we are treated to an almost pulpish tough guy who gets himself beaten-up and shot at during his chase for two bank-robbing cousins.
These cousins killed the son of a gangster who is now chasing them to get his revenge.
Aiding Jack are his boss and a female cop.
The story is fast-paced, Jack a cool hero and his boss an interesting sidekick kind of character. Both have been scared mentally and / or physically by tragic events in their pasts. Not only makes this the characters more likable but it also adds an extra level of darkness to the story.
Highly recommended for everyone who likes their P.I novels to be high on the action and low on the mystery.
