"I want to do something to effect change. I want to make the callous two percent who control the country personally feel the consequences of illegal gun sales, assault rifles, thirty-round clips filled with cop-killer bullets." Powerful D.C. politicians are being removed from office by something other than elections – execution-style killings for which FBI Special Agent Nick Nettles is under pressure to find answers and suspects. That's when a weapons smuggling investigation drops Nick in the middle of an international scheme to expand gun distribution, block tighter U.S. gun laws and manipulate the public conversation on Second Amendment rights. For Nick, a lawman and gun-control advocate, uncovering the truth is personal – and could destroy his career and rock the nation, from the heights of government and industry to every citizen. But he isn't alone – someone else has bought into the high-stakes game and is going all-in to run guns off the table. Who will win when Death calls?
HELP TO UN-WRITE THE STOUT STICK. ENSURE THAT THE LIST OF GUN ATROCITIES LISTED IN ITS APPENDIX STOPS GROWING. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD IN THE FIGHT TO EFFECT SANE GUN LAWS. |

Brent Monahan has spent his life fascinated with and passionate about questioning the world - and arriving at unique, thoughtful, insightful and, quite often, spear-tip pointedly amusing answers that find their expression in his many novels. Whether he is offering a rational explanation to an historical haunting, as in The Bell Witch: An American Haunting, or delving into the psyches and machinations of such icons of financial and political power as J.P. Morgan in The Jekyl Island Club, Mr. Monahan does so with an unparalleled depth of research and smart, witty writing that has engaged decades of readers and garnered him considerable critical recognition from both reviewers and his peers. Mr. Monahan has authored 15 novels, two of which have been made into movies - including An American Haunting, starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. He has taught writing at Rutgers University and Westminster Choir College of Rider University, even though his terminal degree was in musical arts from Indiana University, Bloomington. He lives in Yardley, Pennsylvania. |
