Favorite Book and Book welcomes author Judith Ayn - Back Blast

ABOUT THE BOOK:

BACK BLAST by Mark Greaney is the fifth in his Gray Man series and my very favorite. I absolutely LOVE this book.

Greaney writes international thrillers and co-authored several books with the late Tom Clancy. Back Blast was published in 2016, but I probably read it in 2018 when I first discovered Greaney’s work. I have recommended this book to my critique group, most of my friends, family and relatives! They have all really enjoyed it, too.

In Back Blast, Court Gentry, who for years acted as an important CIA international covert asset, finds himself suddenly and inexplicably at the top of the agency’s Kill List.  He decides to come home to the USA to solve why the agency wants to kill him and who is behind the order. What makes this book so special is Greaney’s incredible sense of humor and the down-to-earth Gentry. Whether he’s trailing drug dealers in Washington, DC, or whirling through a McDonald’s to outrun the bad guys, the laughs and incredible exploits just keep coming. He manages to fashion weapons and plans out of thin air, no matter how outnumbered he may be or how dire the circumstances. And he always stops to help other people in need because he’s a really good man.

FYI, Netflix also loved the series so much, The Gray Man has wrapped production and is coming soon as a new film franchise starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. I can’t wait for the movies!

ABOUT MY BOOK:

Why would someone burn down kennels and murder a kindly 

old caretaker at a no-kill animal shelter? 

MURDER AT THE NO-KILL ANIMAL SHELTER is a prequel novella in the Cheater’s Lake Murder Series and introduces Mark Walsh, a homicide detective newly transferred from the heat of Phoenix to the small town of Cheater’s Lake, Washington, in the soggy Pacific Northwest. Walsh adopts two frisky rescue cats as he investigates the caretaker’s murder and arson burning of the kennels at the shelter. Along the way, he must also fight his attraction for the feisty redhead director, Daisy Marigold (DM), as she is terrorized and kidnapped when Walsh gets too close to solving the mystery. Welcome to the world of Cheater’s Lake.
