Run The Devil Back

RUN THE DEVIL BACK

A man seeking vengeance discovers something far more dangerous than cartels operating in his hometown.

When former U.S. Marshal Elias Cross learns his brother has been murdered, he reluctantly returns to Sawtooth Junction, the border town he swore never to revisit. Three years of self-imposed exile in the desert haven’t erased the ghosts of Juárez—a mission gone wrong that left civilians dead and drove Elias to abandon his badge, his brother, and everything he knew.

The official story calls his brother’s death a cartel hit, but Elias immediately senses the lie. As he reluctantly allies with Maya Reyes, his brother’s deputy and now acting sheriff, Elias discovers a pattern of disappearances connected to an abandoned copper mine. Among the missing: sixteen-year-old Adriana Vega, whose case his brother was investigating before his murder.

Elias soon uncovers a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of power—a classified government program using the border as cover for unspeakable experiments. With a growing circle of allies including his pregnant sister-in-law María, Elias races to expose the truth and find Adriana before she becomes another forgotten victim.

But the architect of this conspiracy, the brilliant and ruthless Elizabeth Morgan, will sacrifice anyone to protect her operation. As violence escalates and the truth comes into focus, Elias must decide what matters more: vengeance for his brother or justice for all those who’ve disappeared.

In this gritty neo-western thriller, redemption might be possible—but only if Elias can confront the devils of his past while running a far more dangerous devil back into the light.
