Trigger warning: mental health issues, abuse, suicide, bullying. People aren't born broken. People are made broken by society, by family, by people they love and care about. People are made broken by the mirror they see in other people's faces that morph into their own realities of what they see when they look in the actual mirror. It can happen at any moment in one's life. It can happen as a baby, as a toddler, as a child, as a teenager, or even as an adult. It can be the cold shoulder of a mother who doesn't hug their children or show affection.

The explosive conclusion to the Jelly Bryce Trilogy. In 1941, as the world is consumed by the flames of World War II, FBI Special Agent Delf "Jelly" Bryce finds himself at the center of a changing America. The legendary lawman who once hunted Depression-era gangsters must now navigate a global conflict that brings new, shadowy threats to the home front.

As seen on the American Heroes Channel (AHC) series American Lawmen! He was the fast-draw legend the FBI had to see to believe. Narrated by Marconi Award nominee John Raynar. In the lawless dust of 1930s Oklahoma, one man’s reflexes were faster than the blink of an eye. Delf "Jelly" Bryce didn't just carry a gun; he possessed a near-mystical mastery of it.

The legend grows. In the second riveting installment of Mike Conti’s trilogy, Detective Delf “Jelly” Bryce leaves the dusty streets of Oklahoma City behind to join the elite ranks of J. Edgar Hoover’s Federal Bureau of Investigation. America is a powder keg. While the Great Depression ravages the home front, the world teeters on the edge of total war.
