Revenge: Jessie Carr #1

By JL Schneider

Revenge is the gripping story of Jessie Carr, a man shattered by the murder of his wife who decides to take justice into his own hands. But unlike most avenging protagonists, Jessie finds he likes the violence. He craves the rush.

A Vietnam veteran with a dark edge, Jessie recruits an ex-military buddy and dives headfirst into a brutal underworld of drugs, gangs, and bloodshed. The line between hero and villain blurs as he thrives in the chaos-leaving the reader to decide which side he truly belongs on.

Jessie isn't just surviving-he's winning. He builds a reputation, navigates both the criminal and civilian worlds, and draws others into his orbit. But beneath the success lies something darker, something he discovered in Vietnam: a taste for war.

After two years, Jessie wants out. But leaving the drug world isn't easy. It takes blood, deception, and force to break away. Even then, peace is fleeting. Restless and bored, he takes a security job with a major importer-pulling another old Army friend back into the fire.

Then 9/11 hits. A vacation turns into a wake-up call when Jessie realizes drug money might be funding terror. Once again, he tries to walk away, this time using a police lieutenant to take down his employer.

But the past never stays buried.

As the story ends, two killers are closing in-hunting Jessie down. His war isn't over. It's only just begun.

The next chapter of his journey continues in the explosive sequel: GunSlinger.
