THE RELENTLESS PROTOCOL

A Tampa Bay Crime Thriller

Book One of The Relentless Series

By Thomas Badolato

THE HUNT BEGINS WITH A MISSING PERSON. WHAT POPS UNCOVERS COULD GET EVERYONE HE LOVES KILLED.

Tom "Pops" Badolato has spent his career tracking people who don't want to be found.

A seasoned private investigator and former fugitive hunter operating out of Tampa Bay, Pops knows that every investigation carries risks. But when a seemingly routine missing-person case exposes a dangerous criminal conspiracy, he finds himself facing an enemy unlike anything he's encountered before.

What begins as a search for answers quickly becomes a relentless pursuit of the truth.

Alongside his trusted ally Jake Mercer, Pops follows a trail of deception, violence, and corruption that reaches into powerful organizations and the very institutions sworn to protect the public.

As the investigation intensifies, dangerous secrets emerge, loyalties are questioned, and the distinction between friend and enemy becomes increasingly difficult to recognize.

Someone is watching.

Someone is protecting the conspiracy.

And someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

With powerful enemies closing in and the safety of those closest to him hanging in the balance, Pops must rely on decades of investigative experience, sharp instincts, and an unwavering determination to finish what he started.

But this time, finding the truth may be the most dangerous part of the hunt.
