APPETITE FOR VIOLENCE - A ZEE BLACKWELL STORY

AVAILABLE NOVEMBER, 2025.

They want to hang the boy.

And in this part of Mississippi, that’s easier than proving the truth.

Seventeen-year-old Reggie “Turbo” Collins has been arrested for murder. The sheriff says it’s open and shut. The rope’s already tied. But Zee Blackwell knows better. Turbo’s not just another street kid—he’s Zee’s shadow, his runner, his only tether to the part of himself that still believes in redemption.

To save him, Zee will have to follow the blood trail through crooked lawmen, backroom deals, and a town that feeds off fear. And the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: somebody wants this boy to swing.

Set in the searing heat of the 1960s Delta, Appetite for Violence is a Southern Noir thriller about loyalty, corruption, and the quiet fury of a man who doesn’t bluff, doesn’t beg—and doesn’t forget.
