Welcome to Cottonmouth
About this audiobook
“Jay S. Bell has arrived and he’s firing on all cylinders. This book is so original and well written that it had to be penned by a legend in the making.”—Joshua Hood, bestselling author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series
What does the US government do with spies and special operators when they pass their expiration date? They retire them to a small town deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where they’re certain to cause no trouble.
A collection of broken spies, former double agents, and retired operators lives in secrecy, under the watchful eye of the government in the small, deep-woods town of Cottonmouth, Texas.
Devlin Mahoney is the de facto mayor of these special citizens, charged with keeping them in seclusion, hidden from the world, which he does from the office of the town’s only motel.
But the peace of this sleepy village is shattered when a pair of women, on the run from a vicious criminal, drops into Mahoney’s lap and he’s forced to choose between doing what’s right and doing what he’s told.
About the author
Jay S. Bell, a typical Suburban Man by day, toils away at his lonely keyboard by night. Bell has been telling himself stories through his life of multiple careers, from fraud investigations to HVAC technician, software sales to store detective. He tends to overuse the phrase, “Hey, that looks easy, I’ll bet I could do it,” which is how he came to his latest career as a wordslinger.
