Hill Country Rage — Patrick Kelly

The financial thriller series endorsed by critics and business executives

When his best friend is murdered on a street in Austin, Joe Robbins embarks on a relentless quest for justice.

Joe is a freelance CFO for Hill Country Capital, a real estate investment company. Neil Blaney, Joe's best friend, is part owner of the company but believes one of the other owners, Kenji Tanaka, is connected to the drug cartels. When Neil is murdered, the police drag their feet, and Joe begins to suspect there is a connection between them and the cartels.

Buried in every human is the potential for rage . . . raw . . . visceral . . . animalistic. But like any source of energy, the rage must be controlled; to survive, Joe must pull back from the rage and think through the problem analytically.

Set in Austin, Texas, Hill Country Rage sends Joe on a harrowing journey: spying on smugglers in the Lost Pines of Bastrop, fighting hand-to-hand with a giant in the waters of Lake Travis, and weaving between drug cartels and the D.E.A.
