A DANGEROUS MAN<\/a> by J. L. Engel<\/p>\n

First sentences…<\/p>\n

\n

“9-1-1. What’s your…”<\/p>\n

The emergency operator’s standard question was cut short by the sporadic sounds of gunfire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

A DANGEROUS MAN features one of the most compelling openings to any book you’ll ever read.\u00a0 A little girl, hidden in a closet, is one the phone with 9-1-1.\u00a0 In the background gunfire is heard getting closer and closer.\u00a0 The child is panicked, the operator is doing her best to determine the location of the call to send help… then the operator hears this:<\/p>\n

“Listen closely… Anna is safe.\u00a0 I’m going to give you an address where to find her and get her home.”<\/p>\n

And this…<\/p>\n

“When the police arrive, they’ll find Anna locked in a conference room on the second tier.\u00a0 It’s up the stairs and to the left.\u00a0 What they’ll find below is much more disturbing.\u00a0 I advise the police to enter with extreme caution.. As best I can tell I’ve killed everyone else.\u00a0 Except for the other victims.”<\/p>\n

THAT is our introduction to a vigilante the FBI has labeled Ghost.\u00a0 Ghost is a former government operative whose family was killed by a Russian crime cartel led by Yuri \u201cThe Wolf\u201d Kurikova.\u00a0 Ghost is working his way up the food chain intent on killing “The Wolf” and destroying his organization.<\/p>\n

So far, Ghost has been unstoppable.\u00a0 He’s 6’5″ and 260 pounds of muscle.\u00a0 Although grieving for his family, Ghost has turned the misery into an unquenchable rage.\u00a0 Using his skills, Ghost has trail of bodies across the country as he gets closer to taking down The Wolf.<\/p>\n

The F.B.I. have been a step behind. They’ve assigned Cameron Slate to lead the investigation to bringing down the Ghost.\u00a0 Slate is closing in.<\/p>\n

The Wolf has hired twin assassins, Nikolai and Natasha to find and kill Ghost.\u00a0 The twins’ abilities rival those of Ghost.\u00a0 And they may have the edge given Natasha’s brutality and love of violence.<\/p>\n

It will all come to a head in Boston.<\/p>\n

If you like all out action, characters like John Wick, Frank Castle and John Creasey, then\u00a0 A DANGEROUS MAN is for you.<\/p>\n
