Jackie Outlaw has just tasted freedom for the first time in years-but it's bitter on his tongue. Released from prison with nothing but a shadowed past and a broken moral compass, Jackie walks back into a world that never stopped turning. He's a man shaped by violence, hardened by betrayal, and hunted by ghosts he can't seem to outrun.

Set in the heart of a ruthless American city, JACKIE OUTLAW is a raw, visceral journey through the wreckage of a life lived on the edge. Jackie isn't looking for revenge, or forgiveness-he's just trying to survive. But survival in this world doesn't come clean. Every step forward pulls him deeper into a twisted labyrinth of crooked cops, street politics, and old enemies with long memories. As he tries to rebuild a life outside the walls that once caged him, Jackie faces a brutal truth: some prisons are made of steel, others of guilt.

From the first chapter to the last, Hector Peralta weaves a gritty and emotionally charged narrative that doesn't blink. With cinematic intensity and piercing insight, the story delves into the complexities of freedom, the price of loyalty, and the thin line between sinner and savior. Jackie's path is filled with danger, but it's also lit by brief flashes of hope, redemption, and the stubborn spark of a man who refuses to disappear quietly.

With chapter titles like The Smell of Freedom, Greed and Godlessness, and Blood and Buckshot, this novel doesn't just tell a story-it drags you into the middle of it. You'll smell the smoke, hear the gunshots, and feel every heartbeat of a man who's running from his past and into something far more dangerous.

JACKIE OUTLAW is more than a crime novel-it's a portrait of survival in its rawest form. Gritty, gripping, and unflinchingly real, this is a story that stays with you long after the final page.
