Jarrett Keller’s war with the Valdillo crime cartel is over . . . or so it seems. But then kill teams from south of the border infiltrate the city of Dallas . . . invade Jarrett’s home . . . attempt to murder Jarrett and his wife as they lie sleeping in bed. And this is only the beginning. The cartel, seeking revenge for its previous encounters with the “berserker” American, has targeted not only Jarrett but every member of his extended family. Everyone must die. Horrified by this brazen attack, enraged by the looming menace that threatens all that he loves, Jarrett forges an alliance with a crew of highly-motivated companions. Together, they vow to carry the fight directly to the Valdillo family . . . to strike at the very heart of the cartel . . . to either kill every Valdillo leader or extract a final truce that will bring lasting peace for Jarrett’s family. But this furious assault takes a frightening toll. Driven by unrelenting anger and fear, Jarrett is forced to engage in unthinkable behavior, to commit acts so dire they threaten to wreak irreparable damage to his immortal soul. But his family must be protected. By whatever means. At whatever cost.
A spontaneous act saves a small child’s life, and ends in bloodshed that spreads from Dallas to Mexico to the bayou to the Carolinas, destroying a cartel’s stronghold. Steven Weart’s first novel, “Running On Fear” (Keller's War Book 1), set the stage as Jarrett Keller emerged from a sedentary life as the retired attorney who adapts and fights back against a Mexican cartel, culminating in an action-filled plot that will keep you turning the pages. The heinous spree of murderous mayhem brings Jarrett Keller out of his comfort zone into the bowels of the Valdillo crime cartel. In this, his third book, all characters from his first two books (. “Driven By Guilt: Book” Two of Keller's War, and “Fueled by Rage: Book Three of Keller's War”) return to fight their way through crime, drugs, mayhem and death as they react to save Keller and his family from the Valdillo cartel. Action abounds as they depart from simple lives to cleaning up corruption after the cartel leaders vow to kill Jarrett’s entire family. Each chapter holds twists and turns that take on societal norms for the retired attorney. You could enjoy only this third book in the series, but definitely your experience will be far more rewarding when you read all three. Look for this series to catch the interest of a movie producer.
