Synopsis

You bring death, the voice said, and Hell follows with you. Relentless bounty hunter Jack Keller returns in Devils and Dust, the long-awaited fourth installment of the critically acclaimed series from award-nominated author J. D. Rhoades. Keller's been in exile, living a quiet life in the desert, since his disappearance after the cataclysmic events of 2008's award-winning Safe and Sound. Now his old friend and former employer Angela has tracked him down and needs his help. Oscar Sanchez, Angela's husband and Keller's best friend, has disappeared while investigating what happened to the sons he was trying to bring to America. If anyone can find Oscar, Keller can, but along the way he has to confront his own demons and his unresolved feelings for Angela -- now his best friend's wife. Keller's quest takes him from a corrupt Mexican border town to a prison camp in the swamps of South Carolina and pits him against human traffickers, violent drug lords, and a vicious group of white supremacists perpetuating an evil as old as civilization itself in the name of God. All of them are about to learn a hard lesson: if Jack Keller's after you, he's bringing Hell with him.

Media Reviews
Praise for DEVILS AND DUST Keller fans will be palpitating at the prospect of a new installment, and those palpitations won't ease a bit once the first page is turned...For fans of high-octane thrillers that don't ignore character development, Rhoades belongs on the same reading list with Stephen Hunter, Lee Child, and Randy Wayne White. --Booklist Jack is a fun character to root for and more than a little reminiscent of Jack Reacher. This is a fast and fun read, one that will appeal to fans not only of Keller but also to readers of Lee Child and other act first, ask questions later tough guys. --Library Journal This is the fourth Keller story, and they are always exciting. Jack is truly a hard man, so you can expect violence, blood and rough action. You won't be disappointed. --Lincoln Journal-Star Entertaining...Rhoades does a fine job of building the suspense and writes convincing action scenes. --Publishers Weekly Excellent...a real page-turner. --Mystery Scene Rhoades' skill will keep readers going. --St. Louis Dispatch Praise for the Jack Keller series: A fine example of redneck noir. Nicely crafted...if you hail from certain dark corners of the sunny South, it's the next best thing to a trip home. --The Washington Post Think of Keller as a similarly tortured, contemporary version of William Munny in Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven'. --Booklist Rhoades slaps this supercharged crime-fiction debut into overdrive in the first paragraph and never lets up through nearly 300 pages of non-stop action. --Booklist (starred review) on THE DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND Enjoyable...Rhoades seems to have observed and remembered all the seedy details of life outside the centers of urban and suburban life as we know it. Nobody could totally invent this stuff. --Chicago Tribune The Devil's Right Hand blasts right out of the chute and keeps up the pace until the final paragraph. Steeped in Southern sense of place, the reader can feel the heat and humidity and smell the cordite hanging in the air. J.D. Rhoades writes action as well as anybody in the business, and bail bondsman Jack Keller is a winner. --C.J. Box, author of Trophy Hunt Spare, tense and violent, this is a debut that will turn other writers green with envy. Jack Keller is a sure-fire star of the new generation of hard-boiled heroes. --Stephen Booth, author of Blind to the Bones Riveting as the rack of a sawn-off shotgun, The Devil's Right Hand is a novel of pace and power, locked and loaded from the start. Bail enforcer Jack Keller, a damaged gulf war veteran, moves the heart in unexpected ways. Keller's quarry Raymond, a drug dealer bent on revenge, pledges 'no more water, but the fire next time'--and it's the fire we get on almost every page of a book that is positively aflame with action. Let's hope that J.D. Rhoades and Jack Keller are due to deliver more of the fire and soon. --Ken Bruen, author of The Guards Crisp dialogue and the author's deft use of local color support a narrative driven as effectively by characters as by events. --Publishers Weekly on SAFE AND SOUND
