After twenty years behind bars, Jovan "Joe" Stojkovich is back on the streets of Metropolisville—a city where justice is crooked, loyalty is bought, and the past never stays buried.

All Joe wants is to reconnect with his younger brother and settle an old score. The man who betrayed him two decades ago is still out there, and Joe's not interested in forgiveness. But revenge in a city like Metropolisville doesn't come easy. Everyone's got an angle. And Joe's got nothing to lose.

GUN SMOKE is a gritty, blood-soaked entry in the Butcher Boy neo-noir crime anthology—a series set in America's most dangerous city, where the line between cop and criminal vanished long ago.

Also in the Metropolisville series: Fat Cat, Fender Bender, Sputnik Baby, Pig Killer, and the one that started it all—Butcher Boy.
