I'm a fan of the author's blog about writing and his take on being an author. I've previously read his non-fiction books about writing and his short story collection, but wondered if he could do justice to a longer piece. He can. Oh, boy... he can.Imagine Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino sitting in the diner in Pulp Fiction outlining a story and you'll have this one. The scenes jump from past to present at times, but in a great way, giving you just enough information at each pass to make you realize who the real good guys and the real bad guys are. Jesus (think Cuba, not Nazareth) is more than just a typical hit-man for the mob. He has many layers... most of them stinking. But as a reader you can't wait to peel back the next one to see what trouble Jesus can get himself into.I can't wait to dive into the second book and beyond. The author hints at five books in the series. Hurry up and write them! I'm a big fan.
