The Bluelight Special

A Cyril Landry short story


Landry’s back—and THE BLUELIGHT SPECIAL’s got him!  Cyril Landry, former Navy SEAL, black ops specialist and hardcore horse racing fan from THE SHOP and HARD RETURN, is back—and this time he’s fighting for the little guy.


When Therese Hill stands up against the monied interests at Dogwood Park to keep herself and her fellow jockeys safe, she’s nearly killed in a pile-up that looks like another accident on the track. But this is no accident—and it won’t stop there. Can her new friend Landry, using the highly selective and persuasive tools of his trade, help level the playing field?


Critical acclaim for Cyril Landry and THE SHOP:


“A non-stop locomotive ride of a thriller.”

—John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author of DAMAGE


“Riveting!…An exciting, sweeping crime thriller that will linger in your mind for a long time."

—Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of THE BOOK OF SPIES


and HARD RETURN:


"Sweeping from suburban California to the New Mexico desert, from an assassins' marketplace in Austria to the killing grounds of Iraq, HARD RETURN is an amped-up thrill ride showcasing one of the most enigmatic and unforgettable antiheroes in fiction today. Part Jack Reacher, part Jason Bourne, Landry is a loner, a lover, a father, a killer, and the last thing his enemies will ever see."

—Michael Prescott, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of BLOOD IN THE WATER
