Lion's Den

By Neil Citrin

Book Overview

In Santa Monica, the Salter family has long lived by one rule: don't bother the lion unless he comes to you. Johnny and Benny have always trained under their father's exacting guidance, mastering skills meant to protect, not provoke. But when tragedy strikes and Daniel Salter is taken from them, the brothers find themselves thrust into a world of danger far beyond the dojo.

Suddenly, every ally and adversary carries weighty consequences. The Salter boys must defend their family's legacy, confront a shadowy network determined to seize power, and navigate a city teetering on the edge of chaos. With strategy, skill, and unyielding resolve, Johnny and Benny fight to protect everything-and everyone-they hold dear.

Lion's Den is a taut, adrenaline-fueled story of martial arts, family loyalty, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
