The Heartless

A Bruno Johnson Thriller, Book 7

By: David Putnam

Narrated by: Daniel F. Purcell

Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and John Sandford.

Former LA County Deputy Bruno Johnson is now a bailiff in the courts, having stepped down from his role on the Violent Crimes team to spend more time with his daughter, Olivia. Bruno fears his job decision may have come too late, when he gets a frantic call to extricate Olivia from a gunpoint situation in a LA gang-infested neighborhood.

His desperation escalates when he realizes Louis Barkow, a stone-cold killer awaiting trial, had orchestrated that deadly tableau. When Barkow and three other criminals break out of jail and hit the streets, Bruno is plunged back into violent crime mode.

Now, the agenda is personal - Olivia has become a pawn in the desperate chase of this sinister murderer. The walls are caving in on Bruno as violence escalates in his hunt for Barkow. His heart strings are stretched to the breaking point as he struggles to protect his daughter, not only from the criminal violence swirling around them, but from Olivia's own impetuous life choices.
