Bruno Johnson, an ex-cop and ex-con, is currently hiding in Costa Rica with his wife, Marie, and the twelve children they rescued from toxic homes in south central Los Angeles. Bruno works at the Lido Cabana Bar at the Punta Bandera Hotel, and his friend, Karl Drago, is getting married on the beach right outside. After the festivities, Bruno and Marie go skinny dipping in the ocean, but they are quickly interrupted by a visit from law enforcement.

A shooting has just occurred at El Gato Gordo nightclub, and the victim is a prominent local figure and Bruno's close friend. The chief of police asks Bruno to help investigate, but the stakes are higher than ever – if Bruno doesn't find the shooter, the chief will turn him over to US authorities.

Everything is complicated further when Bruno becomes a victim of a crime himself, realizing that someone else may be after him. Bruno has to juggle the police investigation with figuring out who's targeting him – if he drops the ball, it might be the last thing he ever does.

The Bruno Johnson Crime Series is a thrilling series of novels that follow Bruno Johnson, an ex-cop and ex-con, as he navigates the dangerous world of crime and corruption. While all of the novels in the series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is as follows:

The Disposables
The Replacements
The Squandered
The Vanquished
The Innocents
The Reckless
The Heartless
The Ruthless
The Sinister
The Scorned
The Diabolical

Each novel in the series is packed with action, suspense, and intrigue, and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. If you're a fan of Michael Connelly and David Baldacci, then you're sure to enjoy the Bruno Johnson Crime Series.
