Description

Tired of  recycled police stories?

When you can't call the cops.....Call Trunk

Dennis Trunk has a reputation for solving puzzles and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty.

He won't kill...unless he has to.

Your new guardian angel is a psychopath.

About one percent of the population are psychopaths. Trunk is highly functional. He has a steady job, an ex-wife, and a side business offering discreet services that work well with his condition.

From investigations to body disposal, Trunk has your back.

Drugs are a business and Art Piro is very successful.

An arsonist is destroying his business.

Trunk is hired to find out who is behind it and stop them. The list of suspects is long.

Local news is reporting the fires as the work of a vigilante.

But ever since Texas fell to a cartel, the drug business in nearby states has been on edge.

Then there are tensions within the motorcycle club at the center of the business. Art will be stepping down as club president next year and the succession plan is simple, may the best man win. At stake is control of one of the most profitable drug businesses in the country and millions in offshore banks.

Too many suspects and all of them ready to kill.

DEEP DOWN YOU'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THE TRUTH...

CRIME PAYS...


...most of the time

"Fascinating insight into criminal minds."

"another "Travis McGee" by John D. McDonald; but on STEROIDS"

"Our hero (or anti-hero, if you prefer) is not a good man, but sometimes good outcomes require bad solutions."


'Never aim for the apple. There are much better targets' - Trunk

    Dennis Trunk is an unlikely hero. The fast-paced plot is filled with interesting characters and plenty of suspense. I loved the author’s writing style! This was a gritty, dark-humored, page-turning thriller. Highly recommend!

    Loved the book, the plot is a tad hard to follow at times. Author if you're reading this you should use a little more description sometimes to let the reader know exactly what's going on. Also you need to hire a better proofreader, I found many many mistakes. But overall great story and really great protagonist. Very entertaining.
  • A great read
