Review: Reagan Country (A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel) by Ray Keating

If political intrigue and expansive narrative threads fit neatly in your wheelhouse, then the writing of Ray Keating never fails to disappoint. In his new novel, Reagan Country, Pastor Stephen Grant returns in another exceptional story in which he finds himself in yet another international mystery, one that stretches to the highest seats of America’s capitol, as well as the shadowy halls of the Kremlin.

Underpinning this entire novel is a strong political bent, so those readers who remember (and potentially adore) the Reagan years in American history will appreciate the heavy leaning in favor of that president’s policies […]

Review: Beyond Vengeance by Larry Igbon

For anyone who can’t get enough British thrillers, Beyond Vengeance by Larry Igbon is an absolute must-read. As only a true master of action can deliver, this book careens from one wild scene to the next, from brutal murder scenes and vicious gangsters to the relentless hounding of the London coppers. With mystery and suspense tied up beautifully within this fascinating knot of a plot, Igbon has solidified his place among top writers of the genre.

A powerful crime family in England is all but wiped out, and yet someone is coming to exact justice and make those responsible pay […]

The Pinochet Plot by David Myles Robinson

Historical fiction often lends itself to a time that unfamiliar to the modern age. However, when historical fact is blended with modern fiction, as it is in The Pinochet Plot by David Robinson, a truly special book can be born.

With a rich cast of characters embedded within well-researched contexts, this book exceeds its categorization as a thriller and becomes an endlessly fascinating drama. As an ex-lawyer, Robinson imbues Will Munoz with brilliant believability, and the sheer depth of the main character carries this novel through its slower moments.

This novel tackles difficult topics like parental betrayal, suicide, nationalism, corruption, […]
