About the author
Wayne Epperson
9 books8 followersWayne Epperson, a former newspaperman, is the creator of the Frank Knott private eye character, the protagonist of a six-book mystery series in the crime fiction genre.
Epperson was born and raised in Victoria, Va., a small town founded along the tracks of a railroad that hauled coal from the hills of West Virginia to the ports of the Eastern Seaboard for shipment to Europe. It was a time when the world was at war.
In those years and others that soon followed, all schoolchildren were taught lessons emphasizing the mighty struggles of good against evil.
Those basic traits of the Frank Knott character -- right versus wrong -- probably were born somewhere back in those early years, and Epperson's stint in the U.S. Marines simply added a twist to the mix.
He still roots for the good guys.

Hurricane Frank
Both Hurricane Frank and Frank Knott are hitting Georgia at the same time. While the hurricane wrecks havoc, Frank the bounty hunter hopes the weather will give him an edge.
Blackjack is Frank's partner. He's smart as a whip, loyal to a fault, and intimidating to bad guys. He's a trained Doberman.
Frank discovers Blackjack is the perfect partner for a bounty hunter:
“'It’s not fair for a bounty hunter to use a dog like that. He could really hurt somebody,' said the numskull, who hadn’t hesitated to bail out of the second-story window.
"Despite how scared he was, the criminal likely would later embellish the incident to entertain his cellmates and brag about how brave he had been facing a Doberman. And he would assure them he undoubtedly could have gotten away if only he hadn’t tripped."
Charles Michael Brown of Atlanta isn't the usual bond jumper with a dollop of violence. Brown is a paid hitman. He's already spent half of his life in prison for murder. He'll do whatever it takes to remain free.
Wayne Epperson presents a wonderfully imagined book. Chasing Bad Guys is the second in the Frank Knott action adventure series. It's a great standalone book. The reader doesn't have to have read the first one to keep up with the action. However, given the colorful characters and exciting plot, the reader may want to go back and join Frank in his first adventure.
