A new book baby out in the world today.

This is the 9th #thriller in my ongoing series. At its core, the book is about family relationships and how they can evolve.

Overlaid with fistfights, bullets, and guns, of course.

Day 8
Killing Floor, the first Jack Reacher novel, by Lee Child. This is a great series, and Reacher is very much the 800-pound gorilla in the room if you write this type of #thriller.
