Blood Ties: Dark Storm

Detective Jake Castillo returns with a vengeance in Dark Storm, the second installment of the Blood Ties trilogy. Two years after the Night Slasher killings, Castillo finds himself slowly losing control of everything in his life - his relationship with his son is non-existent, and his friendships on the force are deteriorating due to his increasingly reckless ways. Meanwhile, Jake's vendetta against Frank Colon has also come to a momentary pause due to the detective's relationship with the crimelord's daughter, Melissa. But the two enemies form an uneasy alliance when Melissa becomes involved with "King Mike" Ramirez, a young upstart who has become a threat to Colon's criminal empire. Jake's intervention quickly leads to him getting caught in the middle of a war between the two men. Meanwhile, Jake finds himself the target of a vicious killer who is determined to pick up where Kurt Austin left off, leaving a trail of bodies for the detective to find as he challenges Jake to stop him.

A violent tale of family loyalty and revenge, Blood Ties: Dark Storm is the gritty continuation of the saga of Jake Castillo, a New York City detective who survives the streets of a corrupt and wicked city by delivering his own brand of justice.
