This inaugural and action packed thriller by Jay S. Bell takes you on a wild ride from the very start. The book jacket asks, "What does the U.S. government do with spies and special operators when they pass their expiration date? They retire them to a small town deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where they're certain to cause no trouble." What could possibly go wrong with this scenario, right?! When a car breaks down nearby carrying two women who are fleeing from sex traffickers with connections in high places, Devlin Mahoney, the de facto "mayor" of Cottonmouth, Texas must choose between "doing what's right and doing what he's told." Once you get to know Devlin you will know he always chooses what's right and so begins a war between the handful of Cottonmouth's "special citizens" and a man with endless supplies of money, ammunition and ruthless killers. Devlin's predictable infatuation with one of the women, Britte, causes some near-fatal mistakes because of it, but you can trust that most things come out okay in the end. Gets rave reviews from readers and I hope there's a sequel.
