The Ex-Con

WHEN SAVING YOUR FAMILY IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS...
MERCY ISN'T AN OPTION.

They call him The Monster.

Fresh out of a maximum-security prison after cutting deals and doing favors for the warden, the convict walks back into a world that wants him dead. The cartel that murdered his teenage son has marked him for assassination-and they don't miss twice.

Hunted, betrayed, and running out of time, The Monster has one goal: protect what's left of his family and make sure the people responsible for his son's death pay in blood.

What follows is a brutal descent into a city ruled by violence, where loyalty is a lie, justice is a myth, and survival belongs to the most ruthless man standing.

Dark, fast, and unapologetically hardboiled, this is a noir revenge thriller packed with relentless action, razor-sharp tension, and a protagonist who knows redemption is earned the hard way.

From New York Times bestselling and Thriller Award-winning author Vincent Zandri, comes a pulse-pounding crime thriller perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Lee Child, and Bret Battles.
