Deputy U.S. Marshal, former Navy SEALWounded in Afghanistan, restless at home. Rich enough not to need the job and stubborn enough to do it anyway.
The New Marshal in Town
A crime thriller set between the marble halls of Washington and the black water of south Louisiana.
The story
Ex-Navy SEAL Brody Rockland retired from the military with a war-related injury. Not willing to see his talents wasted, he takes up the fight against criminals by joining the U.S. Marshals Service. Stationed in Washington, D.C., it doesn’t take him long to run afoul of the Russian mob and become an obstacle to their business.
Meanwhile, a disreputable federal judge goes missing from the Eastern District of Louisiana. The director sees an opportunity: test Rockland’s skills in the search for the judge, and give Washington a cooling-off period at the same time.
In Louisiana, Rockland must prove his worth in a new place while learning the ways of people as foreign to him as the Afghan tribesmen he once lived and fought beside. He falls back on his SEAL training to get through the tough spots, including the women in his life, and one in particular: a Cajun deputy sheriff he can’t stop thinking about.
There’s a crime to solve, a judge to rescue, and dangerous people to deal with, the Russian mob among them.
