Will Sue Anne be John Cross' next victim or will the FBI or the mob get him first?
His first two killings, in Paris, were in self-defence. The one in Las Vegas was an accident, that guard should have just handed over the $3,500,000 instead of trying to be a hero. Drowning the two lovers in Delaware Bay was unfortunate but necessary for the greater benefit of mankind. It did leave John a very wealthy man.
With the death of his alcoholic mother when he was ten years old, John Cross was orphaned and forced to fend for himself. Thrown into the desperate, poverty stricken, streets of Los Angeles, he survived, even thrived. Two years later a capitalist sect, called The Sanctuary, based in Taos, New Mexico, recruited him. They speculated in developing abandoned street children, with exceptional entrepreneurial potential, into wealthy businessmen. In return for salvaging him they expect to share in his wealth for the rest of his life. How John Cross' wealth is acquired is of little concern to them. Protecting such proven money makers is very important to them.
This novel enjoys playing in the gray area between good and evil. Is it better to leave abandoned children to their short, brutish lives on the mean streets or is it better to "save" them so they can be exploited? Is it wrong to murder one wealthy socialite if by doing so you will be able to save thousands of abandoned street children? When someone attempts to kill you, and fails, do you automatically pursue them and slit their throat? Is it impossible to hide the hard teachings of the mean streets that you grew up on?
The pages of Murderous Little Bastards are soaked in action, romance, interesting characters, business knowledge, golf, volleyball, revenge, suspense, escape and pursuit. Join John Cross as he flees from France to New Mexico, Las Vegas and Philadelphia to finally find a hiding place and great wealth in a Delaware beach town.
