High Stakes

By Dan Ames

When they shot his mentor, they didn't realize they were creating their own executioner.

In the shadows of Detroit's unforgiving streets, vengeance has a name: August High.

When his mentor and father figure Pops Walker is gunned down and left clinging to life, August unleashes the brutal efficiency that's made him both feared and respected in the city's darkest corners.

The trail of blood leads to a mysterious figure known only as "The Greek" - a crime lord with powerful connections and ambitious plans to reshape the city, no matter who stands in his way.

As August tears through the criminal underworld hunting for answers, he attracts the attention of a deadly assassin known as the Black Reaper - a figure who seems to be watching his every move from the shadows. Friend or foe, the Reaper's motives remain as elusive as the bullets that keep finding August's enemies.

With his massive frame and reputation for unflinching violence, August High doesn't just break doors - he shatters entire criminal empires. But as he closes in on the truth behind who targeted Pops, he discovers a conspiracy reaching into the highest echelons of power, where money and blood flow in equal measure.

HIGH STAKES delivers Dan Ames' signature brand of gritty, uncompromising action in a high-octane thriller that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until the final explosive confrontation.

In August High's world, justice isn't served in courtrooms - it's delivered with lethal precision by a man who has nothing left to lose.
