About Joe Beck

He's big. He's bad. And he's as hard as they come.

He's a former cop from Nebraska, turned unlicensed outlaw private eye, who roams the length and breadth of America seeking out suspects, righting wrongs and reaping riches while serving up his own no-holds-barred brand of vigilante justice.

He's unlicensed. His office is his cell phone. And the gun he carries is unregistered; its serial number filed off. His methods are outwith the law. And he never takes any prisoners. He's America's Unlicensed Private Detective.

About Army of One

In Army of One, Joe Beck is in McAllen, a city not too far from the US-Mexico border, for the funeral of an old friend who he heard took his own life. After the funeral, he randomly bumps into a beautiful escort named Sapphire, who mistakes him for somebody else, and makes plans to spend the night with her in a smoky motel.

But things don't go to plan, as they're abducted at gun point and bundled into the back of a black SUV by three men they've never seen before. Three men who know a whole lot more about Joe Beck's dead friend than they ought to.

What do they want? What do they know? And how will Joe Beck react?

Buy Army of One: Introducing Joe Beck to find out. You won't be disappointed. It's a high-octane, all-action thrill ride through the seething south of Texas featuring scenes akin to what you would find in Lee Child's Jack Reacher thrillers. If you like Reacher, you'll love Beck.
