Genre: Thriller/Suspense
Description:
“Rage paves the roads of Texas.
Al Quinn’s quiet life as a retired sheriff’s department detective is
disturbed by a case of road rage. An angry driver shoots at Al’s sister-in-law,
Bonnie, and her baby. Bonnie returns fire and wounds her assailant, Ketchum,
who leaves the scene. But that’s not the end of the altercation.
Ketchum gathers some friends to help him get revenge. Al and his
entire family are now in the path of enraged, payback-minded armed thugs who
have little to lose.
Sheriff Clayton makes matters worse by asking Bonnie and the rest of
Al’s group not to kill the men so they can stand trial. Law enforcement wants
to make a point about road rage. But Al would rather teach them not to mess
with the ones he loves.”
Author:
“A writer of mysteries, thrillers, westerns, poetry, and nonfiction
books, Russ Hall has had more than thirty-five books published. He lives and
writes on the north shore of Lake Travis near Austin, Texas, where he hikes,
fishes, and lives with far more books than the anti-hoarder groups would
approve.”
Appraisal:
If I had to describe this story in a single
word it would be intense. I’ve read and enjoyed other books featuring Al Quinn,
but this jacks things up to a more intense level because Al and those most
important to him are the people most likely to suffer if things go sideways. We
know who the culprits are and for most of the book so do Al, his cohorts, as
well as law enforcement. The problem is finding them and bringing them in
before they can get their revenge on Al’s sister-in-law, Bonnie, and anyone
else who upsets them along the way. It all adds up to a book that draws you in
and keeps you turning the page, wondering how it is all going to work out.
