Publisher's Synopsis
Joe King is a mob henchman who has just made the worst of many mistakes in his life. While on assignment to end the life of a failed political hopeful, he kills a witness who figured deeply into his past and the shaping of his present. Fueled by remorse and rage, Joe makes a split second decision and sets out to find retribution, killing anyone responsible and anyone who stands in his way. Joe's employer for over twenty years, Tony "Cubby" Wagner, is a mid level crime boss filled with disenchantment and a lifetime of regret. As he struggles to understand the reason for Joe King's sudden rampage, he also faces the threats of rival crime boss Ivory Keenan, a dangerously unhappy marriage, his own inner demons, and the management of a crew coming off its rails. That crew includes psychopath Barry Bright and henchman Billy Moss, two men with axes to grind with Joe King. For a handful of these players, two decades of love, bloodshed, and bad decisions will come down to 48 hours of deadly consequences. The Henchman's War is the companion novel to the film of the same name, directed by Anthony M. Greene and produced by Skyrocket Productions, LLC.
