Gripping from start to finish!
A fast-paced tapestry of plot lines interwoven amongst clever writing and compelling characters. The story of Harvey and Jack has apparently just begun. So looking forward to the sequel!

Crime Thrill Ride!
I had no idea that the opening scene would lead to such an awesome crime drama. Stray Bullet is a thrilling tale about a regular guy who turns professional killer. After the death of his parents leaves Jack careening into depression, a criminal friend sets him on dark career as a paid assassin. The first assignment was so captivating and gruesome that I found myself wondering what I would do given the situation. The plot grows more complex and deeper as a NY Kingpin offers Jack Shaw a job in his organization. Tense dialogue, and pressure cooker assignments makes this dark journey gripping and believable. Stray Bullet grabs a hold and doesn’t let go.

"Fast Moving And Suspenseful"
This is a fast-paced story I could not put down. The characters are well developed and story well written. Jack Shaw becomes a highly paid assassin for a crime family. Another character, Harvey, is a professional crime fighter. This story is of good against evil. This exciting novel kept me reading to the end.
