APRIL 1980. A BANK ROBBERY IS COMING. NOBODY IN CORDERO IS READY.
Inspired by the 1980 Norco bank robbery — one of the most violent bank robberies in California history
In the small California town of Cordero, jobs are disappearing, the Iran hostage crisis fills the television, and a group of restless young men are planning something big.
Tony Gonzalez never planned to raise his younger brother. But when Joey has nowhere left to go, Tony takes him in. And Joey is already deeper in trouble than Tony knows.
A violent robbery is coming to their town. Joey is already in the middle of it.
Now Tony faces the only choice that matters:
Walk away and save himself. Or go down with his brother.
Because once it starts, there is no clean exit. No second chances. No backing out. The only thing standing between Joey and the worst decision of his life is the brother who swore he’d never be here.
Across town, Katie Harrison is racing to escape before the men around her burn everything to the ground.
And they will.
Set against the scorched California landscape of 1980, Cordero is a lean, cinematic crime novel about brotherhood, loyalty, and the impossible cost of protecting someone when the game has already turned against you.
For fans of Elmore Leonard, Don Winslow, and Jordan Harper.
“Hooked me from the first chapter.”
“The kind of crime novel that starts with a bang and then quietly breaks your heart.”
Fast. Immersive. Unforgiving.
