On his last day of a twenty-five-year career as a New Orleans police officer, Sergeant John Archer is on a prisoner transport to the new state-of-the-art parish jail that will prove to be anything but routine! He and rookie officer, Kelly York, enter the rear of the facility with the life-long, career criminal, Noah Crockett, as the city Mayor enters from the front to tour the understaffed facility. Within minutes the inmates take over the jail and secure the Mayor as a hostage. Archer and York must make their way out through the riotous violence with Crockett intent on exacting revenge on the pair. Archer’s ingenuity and experience are tested to their limits as York gets a decade’s worth in mere hours. Once this action-packed novel shifts into high-gear, it doesn’t slow down until its explosive conclusion in the Louisiana Bayou. The first in the John Archer series, he’s DUTY BOUND! **
