After the Governor of Michigan begins receiving threats from a militant environmental group, he calls in extra security.

The problem?
He fears there might be a traitor on his security detail.

The solution?
Call in an independent contractor.

The man for the job?
An ex-boxer and semi-retired fixer named Shelby Alexander.

But who can be trusted?
As it turns out ... no one.

Along with his best buddy and right hand man Jerry "Mack" MacIntyre, Shelby steps in to protect the governor of his beloved state. It doesn't take long for the fireworks to start and the betrayals to run thick and heavy.

Don't miss this rollercoaster ride of danger, action, and high stakes treachery!

How a man unknown by a governor could possibly be invited to his security team. That's part of this when I read this I just knew where they were headed! Another thing he always gets into a fire fight with Mac they're always outnumbered. Just so I'm glad his wife is back but that's not changing him and story lines.

When the Governor of Michigan calls Shelby to be added to his security team how can he say no? Joined by his good friend and ex cop Mack you know you are in for an adventure! When the Governor disappears and they find he was not kidnapped despite what the FBI thinks Shelby and Mack follow their own leads and hunches.
This book certainly had twists and turns you would never expect! I love the action and gun fights! It was definitely an original story! I love these crazy dramas! I’m now hooked on the series and I highly recommend this book and this series!

The Wolverine I got to know was quite an upstanding fellow, slashing knuckle blades and all. His name sake in Serenity Betrayed is not. In fact, this time he is such a lowlife so as to induce nausea.
Hired to protect Governor Richards, the way is set for Shelby Alexander's crossing the path of this scoundrel somewhere along the way. And a reckoning of sorts.
But that reckoning ought to be something as a traitorous scheme develops into a rising body count along the way.
Craig A Hart certainly crafted another intriguing action thriller featuring the inimical Shelby Alexander at his best.
Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another big winner from Craig Hart!
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018

This is a work of fiction ... at this time. One can only hope it isn't a harbinger of things to come in the real world. At times, I found myself thinking "this is too far-fetched", but then I would read a news account, or see a report of what is happening in today's world, and believe it certainly could happen. Serenity Betrayed's characters are entertaining, and echo Mr. Hart's collaboration with Scott Varengo in a wonderful short story. Mr. Hart's writing is well organized, imaginative, suspenseful, and darn near impossible to put down. And, I can't wait for the next one!

I love these books!
Shelby & Mack make a great team. They governor underestimated their skills, thinking they would detract from what he had planned. As it happens, they were the only ones who had a clue!
Great action and one liners from Shelby & Mack. Very enjoyable read, if a little shorter than some of the other books in this series.
A MUST read!

Interesting start to the book. Had all the points reading true , then wham a twist you do not see coming. This book has major political betrayal, terrorists and illegal immigrants, mixed up with people just wanting a better life. Shelby and Mack have to solve the disappearance of the governor only things don't look right. Great story as usual from Craig.

Rather like the curate's egg, this is good in parts. The story line is run-of-the-mill and the settings are nothing to write home about. Fortunately, Shelby and Mack save the day with a macho display. Perfect, If you like the genre but lacking a little if you like to think about what you're reading.

A run of the mill crime fiction with not a strong storyline. The pace moves slowly then you have the end, with no true conclusion.
