“Jay S. Bell has arrived and he’s firing on all cylinders. This book is so original and well written that it had to be penned by a legend in the making.”—Joshua Hood, bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series

What does the US government do with spies and special operators when they pass their expiration date? They retire them to a small town deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where they’re certain to cause no trouble.

A collection of broken spies, former double agents, and retired operators lives in secrecy, under the watchful eye of the government in the small, deep-woods town of Cottonmouth, Texas.

Devlin Mahoney is the de facto mayor of these special citizens, charged with keeping them in seclusion, hidden from the world, which he does from the office of the town’s only motel.

But the peace of this sleepy village is shattered when a pair of women, on the run from a vicious criminal, drops into Mahoney’s lap and he’s forced to choose between doing what’s right and doing what he’s told.

A very small town in the middle of nowhere Texas with few inhabitants. These few folks may look like a bunch of hicks and that’s the whole point. What they really are is a group of highly trained ex spies, ex CIA operatives, ex spetsnaz and a few others.
Although they don’t look like much and they’re a little rusty they still have what it takes when a woman and a young girl wander into their town followed by some not so nice guys with evil intentions.
Edoardo Ballerini as always does an amazing job narrating. He’s a favorite of mine and he has never disappointed.

I always wondered how Jason Bourne, Travis Devine or Will Robbie would retire. Now I know they will end up in a place like Cottonmouth, Texas.

It’s everything a thriller should be….
