Learn moreAttorney Ben Corbin travels to Norway to settle a dispute between Karl and Gunnar Bjornsen, feuding brothers on the verge of developing a revolutionary neural stimulant that could turn first responders into superheroes. But more than just the fate of their pharmaceutical empire is at stake.
What starts as a sibling rivalry takes a deadly turn as Gunnar flees with the secret formula and Karl finds himself in the crosshairs of a bribery investigation. As Ben navigates a web of intrigue involving the Russian mob, embezzled funds, and black-market deals, he and his legal team are targeted for violent reprisals. Whoever is behind the attacks, it quickly becomes clear that no one and nothing—including the miracle drug itself—is as it seems.
Will lust for profit and unbridled ambition drive Cain to slay Abel—or will the intrepid lawyer trying to save them from destroying each other pay the ultimate price?
Revised edition: This edition of Blood Brothers includes editorial revisions.

“Blood Brothers flows with fast-paced action and ferocious family ties.” —In the Library Reviews (9 stars)
“I love so many things about being a reviewer, but I think my favorite is the nudge to read books I might not normally choose to read. Sometimes I stumble across a new author that I absolutely fall in love with…and that has happened with Rick Acker…He’s now on my favorites list…” —A Peek at My Bookshelf (5 stars)
“Blood Brothers is a riveting thriller of drugs and business gone bad, a grade-A pick.” —Midwest Book Review
“Well-written legal scenes and jargon mixed with interpersonal struggles are authentic. Sequel to Dead Man’s Rule, Acker’s intense legal suspense, with a pharmaceutical background, continues the series with powerful courtroom scenes that involve the reader from the opening lines. If you weren’t an Acker fan when you began the book, you will be by the time you finish.” —The Suspense Zone
“Reading this fast legal suspense story, Blood Brothers was like being buckled into an intense thrill ride. You know the kind. The extremely amazing roller coaster ride with all its surprises, twists, turns, ups and downs. I just couldn’t put this book down. I kept reminding myself ‘This is just fiction’ (breathe)!” —Novel Reviews
“Part crime caper and part legal thriller with a supporting medical thriller foundation, Blood Brothers is an exciting thriller that demonstrates the talent of Rick Acker to keep fan interest throughout the plot. There is a lot of action in the exhilarating story line, but it is the characters that grip the readers…” —Genre Go Round Reviews
“Swiftly paced action and sharply drawn courtroom scenes make Blood Brothers hard to put down. I really enjoyed it.” —Hon. John J. Stamos, Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court (ret.)
“Blood Brothers had me on the first page and I could not put it down until the last. With a Christian backdrop throughout the book it reminds the readers what is truly important in life. This is a suspenseful, thrilling, and well written book.” —Laurel Wreath, Christian Women Online
