Blood Ties

Rick Cantelli, P.I. #5

by Bernard Lee DeLeo

Rick killed the Yemen Ambassador’s son in Sana’a, Yemen during an attack on the American Embassy. Aga Saleh wants revenge. Sending Isis/Muslim Brotherhood hit squads against Rick and Lois triggers the ex-CIA assassin team’s survival protocol: torture and kill until the threat ends.

Black Lives Matters thugs get caught in the crossfire - during Ambassador Saleh’s murderous assault on Madigan/Cantelli loved ones at their movie premiere. Unfortunately for the avenging thugs and terrorists, Lois Madigan and Rick Cantelli live by the feud. The old duo of vicious killers live by a code of honor, protecting loved ones and America. They ride for the Red, White, and Blue brand without conscience or mercy.

if Mr Deleo can't see that it's conservatives worldwide running the IMF and pushing for globalism...that it's FOX news and the alt right spreading violence and propaganda, that a few racist and rogue cops are violating their ethics then he's a very gullible man. amazing how cops can take in serial killing whites with no killing but some dude selling illegal cigarettes gets choked to death for it..well, his critical thinking skills are in doubt. that being said, BLM movement's violence and rioting is inexcusable. that was not Mr King's message at all. regardless, the sarcastic humor makes the ultra conservative claptrap bearable. also, he's correct...An islamaphobe is not racist. Islam is a religion numerous in Europe, Asia and now north America...so, an Islamaphobe is a religious bigot..it's religious hatred...based on a centuries old rivalry. I've met some Mormons with the same views regarding child brides and some Christians ready to slaughter in the name of Christ and just as ready to force their Christian views down my throat. wish he'd address a few of those issues. Guilty pleasure re-read in June 2019 re-read May 2020. Still good!

Great action and typical banter for the Cantelli fans

The book was another enjoyable ride, however the Republican agenda is such a turn off. I've been a fan and have bought and read almost every book Mr. Dee Leo has on Kindle, and I think I've reached my limit on the conservative agenda. Perhaps the BLM movement is an excuse for some, however I believe it is rooted in truth. White privilege is invisible to those that have it. Trashing BLM because of the actions of the media or because of some people abusing it, does not make it a force for spreading the terrorist agenda. I wish these books could steer clear of the rhetoric and stick with the winning characters, great interplay and action/adventure.

Dynamic Duo

Once again Rick and Lois are confronted with USA haters and trouble makers . Once again it’s made very clear that they will not tolerate anyone trying to bring harm to those they care about or our great nation! Too bad they can’t come to life to protect the Blue and America. Anyone that can envision what the New World Order and all the other anti American hate groups could/do on a daily basis in reality will love this series!

I loved the addition of the dog. Mr. DeLeo's books are exciting, engrossing, and lack apathy, which I like. I've enjoyed reading them. Can't wait for the next one.

Rick, Lo and the growing crew make for some very entertaining reading. The patriotic plots make the stories exciting to read.
