No Mercy

“The launch of a really exciting series.” –Joseph Finder

“No Mercy will leave you breathless.” --Harlan Coben

When
those inside the corridors of power need help outside the law, they
know who to call. Jonathan Grave, covert rescue specialist, always gets
results. No names. No feds. No trace evidence.

When
an Indiana college student is abducted, Jonathan and his team of ace
operatives unravel a deadly scheme the government wants ignored. Someone
wants to control a devastating secret. Someone rich, powerful, and
willing to kill anyone to get it. Even the people Jonathan loves most.

Bestseller Gilstrap ( Nathan's Run ) launches a thriller series following PI Jonathan Grave. Much like Bruce Wayne, Grave is single and rich, uses expensive gadgets and has a vigilante alter ego. Hokey dialogue (I respect anyone willing to die for a cause.... My goal is to help [terrorists] die for their cause. But I still respect them) hampers an otherwise entertaining read as Grave investigates the disappearance of investigative reporter Tibor Rothman, husband of Grave's ex-wife, Ellen. Sheriff Gail Bonneville of Samson, Ind., is chasing Grave in turn, since a hostage rescue mission he fronted turned into a shootout. Thriller fans may not mind the cheesiness or flat characters like brutish pilot Boxers and sassy computer specialist Venice (pronounced Ven-EE-chay, by the way), as this fast-paced tale of violence and revenge is all about plot, of which there is plenty.
