I was so excited when I won hardcover, signed copies of The Disposables, The Squandered, and The Heartless, and a signed paperback of The Scorned by David Putnam.
Today, I am going to share The Heartless, #7 in the Bruno Johnson Thriller series by David Putnam.

MY REVIEW
The Heartless is my fourth book in the Bruno Johnson series by David Putnam. I have read them out of order and am missing some here and there. That does take away a little something, but seeing the series is a genre that I love, I tend to overlook some things others might call attention to. It is what it is and I accept that.
I love that David Putnam pulls from his personal experience and it shows in the details.
You don’t want someone like Bruno Jonson hot on your trail. He walks a very ‘thin blue line’ and I love that David Putnam has created a characters that is neither all good nor all bad. He wants justice and does what is necessary to make it happen, all while protecting those he loves.
You want some action, you can’t go wrong with a Bruno Johnson novel.
GOODREADS BLURB
Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and John Sandford
Former LA County Deputy Bruno Johnson is now a bailiff in the courts having stepped down from his role on the Violent Crimes Team to spend more time with his daughter, Olivia. Bruno fears his job decision may have come too late when he gets a frantic call to extricate Olivia from a gunpoint situation in a LA gang-infested neighborhood. His desperation escalates when he realizes Louis Barkow, a stone-cold killer awaiting trial, had orchestrated that deadly tableau. When Barkow and three other criminals break out of jail and hit the streets, Bruno is plunged back into violent crime mode. Now, the agenda is personal—Olivia has become a pawn in the desperate chase of this sinister murderer. The walls are caving in on Bruno as violence escalates in his hunt for Barkow and his heart strings are stretched to the breaking point as he struggles to protect his daughter not only from the criminal violence swirling around them, but from Olivia’s own impetuous life choices.
