Produktbeschreibung
Welcome to Red City - a place with an origin story so unique tourism practically fuels the economy. Long considered a picturesque and enjoyable place to live, the city is shaken to its core by the grisly murders of five women, a set of crimes that painstakingly mimic a hallmark Comanche legend from the city's beginnings. With the community reeling, an investigation ensues, and at its center is Detective Johnny Walker, a man whose life becomes completely upended as he works to solve the brutal murders. Under pressure to catch the killer(s) at all costs, and with the city's future and his sanity hanging in the balance, Johnny sells his soul to the devil by working in a "ends justify the means" manner and cashing in on the police department's quid pro quo with the city's drug trafficking gangs. Swift justice becomes Johnny's singular obsession, but will this anti-hero's actions be enough to get the job done?
Autorenporträt
James M. Bronson holds a PhD from Cornell University. Formerly a scientist, he now works as a consultant. Despite his life's trajectory, he is still disappointed that his first career choice as a punk rocker didn't pan out. An avid reader, he's always wanted to create his own story rather than merely recording observations of the physical world. And after watching the 1998 film SLC Punk! again as an adult, he was inspired to put something lasting into the world that would perpetually remind people to question the foundations and veracity of our social and religious institutions, while considering our new era of misinformation and not losing sight of the fact that becoming a lousy sellout is an inevitability if one lives too long. The Circle of Johnny Walker is his first novel.
