Here’s the stunning new cover for Ares Road, the second book in James L. Weaver’s gritty, character-driven Jake Caldwell series.

The series opener Poor Boy Road was one of the best new crime thrillers of 2016.

An IAN Thriller of the Year finalist, it introduced reformed mob enforcer Jake, an endearingly attractive hard guy with a heart of gold.

Now Jake’s back and still trying to go straight.

But it seems his past won’t let go.

His first job working as a private investigator turns up a teenage girl screaming down a dead man’s cell phone, and Logan, his mentor, and the only man with answers, beaten into a coma.

The only clues Jake has to unravel the mystery are a Russian with a stolen, silver briefcase and three names: Snell, Parley and Ares.

Revenge

Teaming up with his best friend Bear, the Sheriff of his home town, and an attractive FBI agent, Jake quickly discovers they’re not the only ones looking for the briefcase and its deadly contents.

It’s no longer about seeking revenge.

The thrilling second book in the Jake Caldwell series is a heart-stopping ride that won’t disappoint fans.
