A novel so captivating one reader said he kept his e-book in his car so he could read it while waiting at stop lights.
It starts with a letter from a wealthy dead man to Hank Tower saying he was murdered by someone in his family. Two grown sons of his are counting on inheriting millions from him and are suspected of the murder. So is an angry, divorced wife replaced by a sensuous, young wife who likes living high and is counting on her husband’s inheritance to continue doing so. Then there’s a grandson living off an indulgent father who wants his father to inherit millions so he can continue his playboy life. Now add in a highly placed scientist in a large drug company who has a possible cure for Alzheimer’s. All of this intrigue leads Hank Tower into a probe that exposes the Bennington family’s twisted dynamics and long-held secrets.
But there are more complicated possibilities behind the patriarch’s murder and the crimes that follow it. One is the selling of black market drugs by ruthless thugs. One weighs over three hundred pounds, one has a mouth that twitches, one is a silent, psychotic killer who uses unspeakable ways to murder his victims and at the head of all three is a tough, renegade Turkish Special Ops officer. All of them have two things in common: establishing a billion-dollar criminal empire and killing the man who stands in their way - Hank Tower.
Within all this complexity lurks the dead patriarch’s killer. If Hank can find out who it is, he receives a half million dollars from the dead man himself. It’s a non-stop, sometimes humorous story from a pro that grips you to the last page; then hits you with a surprise ending.
