Two lives lost.

One long shot at justice.

Luca believed his days of chasing killers were behind him. But the tranquility of retirement is shattered when two boys in his neighborhood are snuffed out by a ruthless drug gang.

When the killer escapes to Mexico, Luca's grief and rage drive him to spring into action. Following a twisted trail, he discovers a powerful drug cartel's scheme to launder their drug money using illegally mined gold.

Determined to cripple the organization from within, Luca sets off for the unforgiving jungles of Peru.

But as he delves deeper, he’s caught between ruthless cartels and corrupt officials, where you never know whose side anyone is on, and justice could come at the ultimate cost.

Save a child, lose yourself.

A lone figure stands guard against the forces preying on the innocent. Meet Beck, a silent guardian whose creative schemes right the wrongs slipping through the cracks of justice.

Beck receives a tip about a baby girl stripped from her loving parents by a corrupt social services system. The echoes of his tragic past – his mother's murder and his harrowing experiences in foster care – resurface, igniting a fire of rage within him.

He uncovers a sinister web.

Beck has sworn off bloodshed but the sheer number of children at risk pushes him to the brink. He must tread carefully, or the darkness will consume him.

When justice couldn’t be had… …one man balanced the scales.

Would he take Mr. Petersen’s case?

Beck’s life took a bad turn when he went into the foster system, but it taught him to survive. He grew up with an unusual moral compass that let him do what needed to be done. Not every case was worth his time.

Could he ignore Mr. Petersen’s injustice?

Caden was rich, powerful, an arrogant SOB and drunk the night he killed Mrs. Petersen. It was an open and shut case. He should be in prison, but one corrupt lawyer and a doctor who could be bought, set him free. Would Beck find a way to put things right? How far would he be willing to go? You’ll love this thriller, because only one man could balance the scales in an artful way. Get it now.

Review: 5.0 out of 5 stars – Superb read with terrific characters. Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023, Verified Purchase

Dan Petrosini has created some fabulous new characters. Beck describes himself as the “squarer” a street-savvy operator who avenges those who have been conned or cheated by the system. His half-brother, Mario, while no fool, doesn’t have Beck’s smarts. Race to Revenge is a series of stories all linked by Beck and Mario. Beck is a tough guy with morals and only helps those who have been genuinely conned or been subject to injustice. The test of a really good book is the “inability of the reader to put it down,” and I downloaded Race to Revenge this morning and finished it this afternoon.

Highly recommended and I’m sure you’ll love this novel.

$100 Million Dollars…

…hidden for the taking. 

Who would find it first?

It was shaping up to be a complex case. When David Beas, a designer and partner at a local firm, turns up strangled on the beach, the list of suspects is staggering. Would his business partner kill him or was it someone who didn’t like his lifestyle?

A jilted ex-lover was also on the table.

Before he could dig too deep into the case, Luca’s life got complicated when a friend of a friend told him a secret. It was the sort of thing he wished he didn’t know. It was a moral dilemma that wouldn’t hurt anyone, could solve his financial problems, and make life for him and his wife easier.

There was just one problem.

He would have to live with his decision.

You’ll love this 16th stand-alone book in the Luca Mystery series because his life is about to change in the most unexpected way and you won’t want to put the book down.
