Synopsis

FROM THE AUTHOR OF MADE IN AMERICA AND THE BASTARD OF TAYLOR’S END COMES THE FIRST VOLUME IN A BRUTAL NEW AMERICAN CRIME SAGA.

A year after the Manhattan Bloodbath left Madison Avenue in ruins, Roman and Raymond-King Schultz are officially dead.

They’d like to keep it that way.

Under new names in Los Angeles, the brothers have built quiet lives out of concealment. Roman has a house in Beverly Hills, a wife, and two teenage children. Ray has a boxing gym in Inglewood, a sparse loft in Koreatown, and a stray cat he refuses to name. It’s not peace. But for men like them, it’s close.

Then a throwaway smash-and-grab at a boutique jewelry store on Rodeo Drive goes violently wrong, and everything they crossed a continent to avoid comes looking for them. Drawn into the orbit of the shop’s silent owner, Robert Luciano, a New Jersey power broker who trades equally in obligation and blood money, the brothers are pulled back into the life they thought they had buried. What begins as a debt becomes servitude. What servitude becomes is the architecture of a heist that could buy their freedom, or bury them for good.

Meanwhile, widowed single father Special Agent-in-Charge Mark Hammond, incidentally transferred to the FBI’s Los Angeles field office on Wilshire after taking shrapnel in the Bloodbath, starts to see the pattern before anyone else does. To prove it, he turns to the one man alive who might know the dead men better than the Bureau does.

Brian Wilkins. Suspended, hard-drinking, brilliant when he can keep his hands steady, and ruined in ways no disciplinary file can explain, Brian knew the Schultz brothers before they became ghosts. He knew them as boys. He knew them as criminals. He knew them when there was still time to call them something else.

But what Hammond doesn’t know is that Brian didn’t just know the brothers. He helped make them ghosts.

And for twelve years, he was the one who kept them free.

As the mob, the FBI, and loose ends old and new converge, Roman, Ray, and Brian are about to learn that the past isn’t something you bury. It is something that waits. And when it comes back, it does not come back asking who you used to be. It comes back to collect what you became. Sweeping, brutal, and devastating, The Schultz Brothers is a propulsive crime epic about brotherhood, betrayal, and the fatal American fantasy that men who live by violence also get to decide when it ends.

Print editions include an exclusive first look at Bears in Winter, the next volume in The Schultz Brothers™ series. Coming Fall 2026.
