Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and John SandfordBruno Johnson, a young and inexperienced LA County Deputy Sheriff, is trying to balance his life as the single father of a four-year-old daughter and his responsibilities as a cop in the Violent Crimes Unit. When he and his impetuous partner Ned Kiefer are put on loan to the FBI to help out with a ""special problem,"" Bruno finds himself in a real bind.

The FBI hands Bruno and Ned a case that the Bureau prefers not to touch--a group of teenage criminals that are being run by a nefarious criminal known as the Darkman. Bruno discovers the identity of the Darkman and is stunned to realize that he is the perpetrator from a lingering unsolved case--a triple homicide that continues to haunt Bruno. The problem is how to stop the juvenile criminals without killing kids, and at the same time, avoid being killed by the kids--or by the Darkman--and keep his reckless partner Ned under control.

Reviews for The Reckless

Starting fast and keeping the accelerator floored, Putnam deftly keeps readers--and Bruno--on the edge with clever twists and intense action scenes. Loaded with insider details on police procedure and tactics. --Glen Hamilton, Anthony and Edgar Award-winning 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 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. Gritty and dark, The Reckless is a realistic and highly entertaining police procedural. --Robin Burcell, New York Times best-selling author Putnam puts his years of law enforcement experience to good use in The Squandered, a shocking and intense tale of brotherly love and redemption realized in the midst of moral decay. It's a raw and gritty story I couldn't put down. --C.J. Box, New York Times best-selling author If you like your crime novels sizzling with realism, sharp dialogue, and pulse-pounding action, this will hit your sweet spot with a sledgehammer. Not since the heyday of Joseph Wambaugh has an ex-cop brought his street experience to the page with such literary power. --Lee Goldberg, 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 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 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. --Michael Connelly, New York Times best-selling author
