Henry Mann thought his toughest battles were behind him. A veteran scarred by war, his only mission now was to provide a safe life for his wife Dani and their daughter, Kalee. But when a brutal drive-by shooting rips through his family, Henry is left broken, bleeding, and burning with a rage that refuses to die.

In the underworld of Boston, gangs thrive on fear and chaos. The African Lords, the Piranhas, the Hell's Gentlemen-all predators feeding on the weak. And now, Henry has nothing left to lose. Armed with his wits, his training, and his unwavering will, he declares a war of his own.

As bodies fall and streets ignite, Henry's crusade draws the attention of allies and enemies alike. Police officers question his methods. Politicians fear the backlash. To the city, he's either a hero or a vigilante-but to Henry, the only truth is blood for blood.

Rough Neck: The Gang Buster is a pulse-pounding thriller that blends gritty urban realism with the raw emotional force of a man pushed past his limits. In the tradition of Death Wish and Sicario, E.S. Bennett delivers an unforgettable story of one man against the tide, where every choice comes at a cost and justice wears a dangerous face.
