TJ's Ride in Bloomington, MN

After 14 months of riding riverboats in Viet Nam, TJ Hamlin receives orders to Naval Air Station backyard duty in his hometown of Corpus Christi. It had been three years since he had seen his brothers from the club, and he was looking forward to long rides in the South Texas sun on his old '59 custom Harley. Little did he know he would end up working undercover for the Navy as a bouncer in a local bar, running for his life, and becoming involved in taking down a drug ring within his own motorcycle club. In TJ Rides, the first book in a planned series, TJ is torn between his dedication to the brothers in the club and his desire to stop drugs from tearing down the only real family he has known. When he discovers who is involved in the operation, he is torn even more, but when a friend is murdered, TJ is focused on one thing: revenging his friend at all costs. In the style of Robert Parker's Spencer and James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux, J.R. Hamilton has created in TJ a character to capture the imagination and propel the desire to keep reading more adventures.
