[Blackfox Chronicles 01] • Tampa Star

Char Blackfox is a Seminole Indian and former Green Beret maimed by a dead guerilla in Viet Nam, Hell-bent on extracting revenge against the Aussie tycoon that stole his woman. His incongruous cohorts are two small time Irish-American hoodlums and a corrupt cop that never met a suspect he didn’t want to beat with a Blackjack.

The unlikely troupe makes a Faustian bargain an exiled Rhode Island mobster to carry out a daring robbery of a floating casino on the high seas. Unforeseen events foil the gang’s escape and the ill-gotten plunder is salted away by one of the thieves’ moments before he is captured and returned to prison.

In 2004, a combat hardened Force Recon Marine is released from active duty and returns to Florida to find his estranged father, one of the original robbers still on the run from his former partners.
