Two years after the Kurt Austin murders, 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 that 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. As the detective tries to find the balance between his personal and professional life, he soon finds himself the target of a vicious killer who is determined to pick up where Kurt Austin left off, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake as he challenges Jake to stop him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso included in this special edition of BLOOD TIES: DARK STORM is the EYE OF THE STORM short-story collection, featuring four tales focusing on Jake's time on the force following the events of DARK STORM. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA 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.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45501798744215,"sku":"9781095709504","price":1525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781095709504.webp?v=1767923089","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/blood-ties-dark-storm-9781095709504","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
