Action and intrigue abound in this thrilling adventure tale written by Joshua Lisec, a bright and emerging voice in the indie book market. Young Max Meyers is a college student suddenly tossed into a situation no young man ever wants to face: finding out the truth behind the murders of his entire family. The story takes the reader on a ride through 1945 Nazi Germany, and into modern-day Virginia, as young Max sets out to disprove the FBI conclusion that his Senator father killed the boy's step-mother and step-sister before turning the gun on himself. Max knew his father well enough to suspect a cover-up in the case. He enlists a family friend, and a renegade former lawman to help him untangle the web of deceit that has been cast over the murders. Joshua Lisec tells a tight, fast-pace story filled with twists and turns that lead readers on a journey into the darker side of humanity. But the lead character brings light and truth to the tale, leaving readers eager for the second installment of this sure-to-be memorable series. I highly recommend this novel to those who appreciate a solid thrill-ride adventure story with their daily reading.
