Ace

by Steve Williams

Ace sees a vacation in Arizona go sideways when Detectives Mitchell and Sandovan are forced to shoot two gangbangers who are shaking down the owner of a pawn shop.

The shooting sets a vendetta in motion, because the brother of one of the dead gangsters is a vicious crime lord, Falco Pelzón. With a trusted soldier, he sets off on a covert road trip, heading east to kill the two detectives responsible for his brother’s death.

Mitchell and Sandovan, oblivious to the impending danger, are knee-deep in a case that has captured the headlines in their city. A wealthy car dealer, Finn Casborne, was gunned down in his office by a pretty young woman with no criminal past.

As the murder case unravels, the gangbangers’ ruthless trap starts to tighten.
