The Guilty

Justice is as fast as a bullet...

Blurb:

As I lie in bed with Amanda, ignoring another late-night call from my ex, a shot rings out in the New York night and a beautiful starlet dies outside the city’s most popular nightclub. This is the kind of story I was born to chase--but I never dreamed this story began over a hundred years ago…

Suddenly another life is taken, the bullet fired from one of the deadliest guns ever made. Both victims are highly controversial, their murders more like public executions. My search leads me into the twisted world of The Boy--a world defined by a demented code of honor and shocking, long-buried secrets of the world’s most famous outlaw.

When this assassin realizes I’m getting too close to the truth, uncovering the past could jeopardize everything I care about. Because in this world there’s a fine line between good and evil, and the difference between innocence and guilt depends on who’s holding the gun…

My thoughts:

WOW! I have to say I just love this man’s writing! Another winner with this book. Once again I was pulled right into this fast paced exciting novel. And of all things I have been very fascinated with the legend and stories of Billy the Kid and the stuff in this book was absolutely heaven for someone like me. His own twists and thoughts into the legends and so called myths was truly brilliant. Truly amazing really. It was also exciting and fun to once again visit with Henry Parker and his friends and enemies too. And we meet some new friends too. His arch rivalry with Pauline is quite interesting we first visited that in the first book and I guess in that kind of work those things occur there are always those who hate you for no real reason other than jealousy and their own insecurities. I’m sure the rivalry will really come to blows later on. I don’t want to put more without really revealing things but things with Amanda take a interesting turn. I have already marked this book as one of my top 10s for the year even though the next one is due in August so that could top this but the subject matter is big reason too. Can’t wait for more!!!

Mini-Challenge:  This hero more than fits the story.  This really isn't a romance while there is one going on that is not the main part of this story so whether they suit each other remains to be seen in the future.  Would he suit me? No way while he is a very interesting person I could not even go through that stress since he finds himself right in the middle of everything. The picture on the front really doesn't ever show a face so you have to be creative. I always picture sort of a adult version of Harry Potter for some reason probably the personality and his habit of finding himself in the middle of the happenings its weird really. But when I really sat and thought about it as for a real life actore portraying him I kind of thought about Tobey Maguire our Spiderman hero. I think he would make a perfect Henry Parker!

People who look down on others are the real freaks of this world.
