Breaking Cover

Listen to J.D. Rhoades read the first chapter (mp3)

“Like [Lee] Child, Rhoades dishes out one airtight action scene after another, mixing in just enough character-building moments and holding our interest in a full cast of nicely developed supporting players. All that, and a Sam Peckinpah–like bloody, bravura finale that will leave even icy-veined thriller fans panting for breath.”
-Booklist

“Shamus-finalist Rhoades (The Devil's Right Hand) delivers a gripping stand-alone thriller…. The action escalates to a powerfully violent, powerfully satisfying conclusion.”
-Publisher’s Weekly

"Breaking Cover is one of those rare thrillers that combine smart, tense prose with a momentum that never quits. J.D. Rhoades revs this baby into action from the get-go and never eases up on the throttle."
-Tess Gerritsen,
NY Times bestselling author
of THE KEEPSAKE

"This book flat-out rocks! J.D. Rhoades -- the king of redneck noir -- jams down the accelerator on page one and never touches the brake pedal. If Breaking Cover doesn't make your heart beat faster, see a doctor; you may be dead."
- Sean Chercover, author of
BIG CITY BAD BLOOD
and TRIGGER CITY.

"I read this book so fast my fingers have blisters. Hypnotic as a cobra's stare and twice as mean. J.D. Rhoades is a master."
–Marcus Sakey, author of
AT THE CITY’S EDGE

"Breaking Cover won't surprise J.D. Rhoades' fans, who already know just how good he is, but it should win him many more. A breath-taking pace, paired with a sure sense of character and place, makes this book another winner. Rhoades' star on the mystery scene is rising almost as fast as his own stories rocket across the page."
–Laura Lippman,
NY Times bestselling author
of ANOTHER THING TO FALL
