Gone To Ground - Paperback

by Morgan Hatch (Author)

"George Jones is one of the evilest characters you'll ever find in a book." -R.G. Belsky, award-winning author of It's News To Me

In Panorama City, they're not just cleaning up the neighborhood. They're erasing it.

Javier Jimenez is a straight-A student with one way out: college. His younger brother, Alex, is headed the other direction-toward Denker Street, the local gang. Then George Jones arrives with a vision for the neighborhood: rising property values, gleaming new development, and a future no one who already lives there can afford.

Soon the disasters start. The bodies start falling. And Javier realizes the battle for Alex is tied to something much bigger-and deadlier-than gang life. To save his brother, Javier will have to go up against a man who doesn't just flip homes. He flips zip codes.

For readers who like gritty crime fiction, political thrillers, and coming-of-age suspense with real emotional stakes, Gone to Ground is a sharp, high-stakes novel about family, survival, and who gets pushed out when a city reinvents itself.
