The Locksmith's Apprentice
An unhinged locksmith kidnaps an abused and neglected boy, taking him under his wing.
Edmund White—volatile locksmith—penetration testing a path of revenge after twenty years in a state hospital. He makes the mistake of taking corrupt ex-cop Virgil Demko’s property. Virgil is a cunning sociopath, but no man-hunter. His ex-partner, however.
Enter sporadically wily, frequently apathetic process server and cynic for hire, Owen “Boot” Banks. Boot—a preference for the comforts of his recliner, a glass of bourbon, and mood setting movie scores—stumbles upon Edmund White’s true motive. Forced to reconcile a broken past and choose sides, Boot’s ultimate decision will envelop all in violent consequence.
Set in San Antonio under the shadows of the cartel, gun runners, and hunting the worst of all predators. The Locksmith’s Apprentice eschews right & wrong, simmering in the grey areas, embracing psychotics with granite moral centers, seekers of oak-barreled, 80-proof redemption, forgotten relics of true crime Americana, and the healing power of ninja turtles.
