The Shield (Paperback)

Paperback. Rocco was once El Toro, a cartel enforcer who broke bones like dry twigs. Now, he is just a welder on the East Side of Saint Paul-a hollowed-out shell of a man living a life of penance, sobriety, and silence.His life is a simple, brutal algorithm: Go to work. Weld the steel. Don't look back. "It runs."But when a ruthless trafficking ring known as The Vipers sets up shop in the abandoned house next door, Rocco sees something that shatters his carefully constructed cage: a child's hand pressed against the glass.As a blizzard buries the city in white, Rocco must make a choice. He can call the police and wait for a justice that comes too late, or he can walk down to his basement, unlock the safe, and wake the devil.Rocci Stucci delivers a piledriver of a novel-a story of fire and ice, blood and redemption, and the terrifying power of a man who has nothing left to lose but his soul.THE CITIZEN IS DEAD. THE SAINT IS AWAKE. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
