[Titus 01] • Miami Burn

** *“An exciting new voice in hard-boiled detective noir thrillers from newcomer John D. Patten.”* **

Titus came to Miami to kill a man. Plain and simple. Fresh off a prison stint for a crime he didn't commit and out for blood.

But when a wealthy socialite begs Titus to track down her missing daughter, he dives head first into a seedy Miami underworld of lowlife thugs, celebrity wannabes, and women as beautiful as they are deadly. Titus soon finds himself up against an organized crime boss, a crooked politician, and a hard-nosed Miami detective. Nobody, it seems, wants the girl found, but Titus doesn’t scare easy. Armed with two fists and razor-sharp wit, Titus unravels a mystery deeper, darker, and more twisted than a simple missing girl.

***“John Patten is this generation’s John D. MacDonald. And Titus is the new Travis McGee!”***
