The Vanquished

"Bad Boy Bruno Johnson comes out of hiding to battle a vicious biker gang that threatens his family. Bring an oxygen tank with you when you read The Vanquished because you'll be holding your breath the whole time." --Matt Coyle, best-selling and Anthony and Shamus Award-winning author of the Rick Cahill PI Crime Series
"The Vanquished takes you onto the mean streets so you feel like you're there with Bruno, fighting and grieving alongside him. The most real cop book I've read in ages." --Marc Cameron, New York Times best-selling author
Praise for the Bruno Johnson Crime Series

"I really loved The Disposables. It's raw, powerful, and eloquent. It's a gritty street poem recited by a voice unalterably committed to redemption and doing the right thing in a wrong world. I'll be first in line for the next one from David Putnam." --Michael Connelly, New York Times best-selling author
"Dark, disturbing, and all too believable, this is the tale of one man's quest for atonement in a world where innocence is a liability." --T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times best-selling author

"Reading a novel by David Putnam is almost as good as riding shotgun in a patrol car. He writes what he knows and what he knows is that justice on the mean streets isn't always black and white." --Robin Burcell, New York Times best-selling author

"Putnam is a master of the gritty realism of law and order at street level. I guarantee that The Ruthless will grab you by the throat, shove you against the wall, and won't release you until the final, satisfying page." --William Kent Krueger, New York Times best-selling author

"Terrific--a smart, well-written, relentless account of a battle against evil, fought by a protagonist who has a real man's flaws, but also shows us the kind of heroism that's real." --Thomas Perry, New York Times best-selling author

"David Putnam knows the mean streets and the characters who inhabit them better than anyone writing crime fiction." --Alan Russell, New York Times best-selling author

"David Putnam provides an insider's knowledge of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. His characters and settings are rich and authentic, and his dialogue is spot on accurate." --Robert Dugoni, New York Times best-selling author​​​​
