​

Some wars never end. Some wounds never heal.

​

In this third novel in the Deputy Sean O'Conner Trilogy, Japanese American families return to rebuild their lives near Phoenix, Arizona, in 1946, after years in internment camps during World War II. They believed the worst was behind them. They were wrong.

​

A merciless group emerges in the shadow of the war's aftermath—four men bound by grief and hatred over personal losses in the war. They call themselves The Vengeance Squad. Their mission: to drive every Japanese American from Arizona soil, by any means necessary.

​

In this riveting thriller, as homes explode in flames at night and families and businesses are ambushed in broad daylight, Maricopa County Deputy Sheriff Sean O'Conner finds himself pursuing monsters who consider themselves heroes. With his own combat ghosts haunting him, O'Conner races to stop the bloodshed before an entire community is erased.

​

But the Squad's leader—a decorated ex-marine who believes he's still serving his country—proves as lethal as any enemy O'Conner faced in battle. When a desperate kidnapping forces them into a final, savage confrontation, only one man will walk away alive.

​

The Vengeance Squad is an unflinching historical thriller that leads you through a shocking story of retribution. The enemy’s surrender wasn’t enough where patriotism is twisted into something unrecognizable, and where justice hangs in the balance between revenge and redemption.
