A Thrill Ride!

What happens when you're a professional assassin who has made some questionable choices and the boss finds out?

In Ballistic, Trey Dowell gives the reader an adrenalin filled thrill ride through the messy take-no-prisoners underworld of organized crime.

This book will appeal to anyone who likes a good crime yarn, from Stephen Leather's The Basement, to Miles Corwin's Kind of Blue.

I am giving the book 5 stars, since my only complaint is the book ended way too soon. I look forward to a longer piece from this author.
