 | THE QUEER STREET KILLING | Ray Johnstone | Novel | Thrillers | 6 | n/a | Jun 5, 2013 |
Summary:Please go no further if you enjoy Agatha Christie style crime fiction.
But read on if you want to know:
* What Mad Dog Smith did to the naked Fat Boy Koen with gardening shears.
* Why Terry Cain, Marge and Mad Dog Smith were all in bed together with a gun and a cut throat razor.
* What Mr James Esq did when he found Terry Cain and Loverboy Ben between the sheets.
This is a thoroughly nasty novel about ruthless gangsters, crooked cops, torture, castration and cannibalism.
It is not for the faint hearted.Chapters: |

Gladys, due to two hapless kidnappers was missing for thirteen months. During her exile, she was held captive at a ranch at Helena. She ultimately became a fortune teller in Vegas. Only by the generosity of Canada’s Most Wanted was she recognized and rescued.

If you detest humor with a racy component, don’t read this book.

Summary:"We Own The President" (set a few years in future; 116,000 words) Why it’s unique: father-daughter buddy story meets 007-type thriller...
Harry Evans works for secret government agencies, sees himself as the last line of defense against the evil people in the world. He’s good at it.
Kate Evans, studying for an MBA at Wharton, is contemptuous of her father and has as little to do with him as possible. After all, he’s nothing but a killer...
Readers get a big swirling thriller--mad-genius twins try to "own the President"--plus entertaining inter-generational conflict.
Harry Evans, daughter Kate, and her friend Carmen are increasingly in the center of the vortex, not sure what is real or where their loyalties should be. The country is coming apart. President Simpson declares war on Mexico, and hints at worst. Kate and Harry, alone against the world, start to function as partners -- but don’t try to tell Kate that. The question is, can these two alphas stop squabbling long enough to save the country from a conspiracy to seize control of the president and to accomplish this in a way that conceals what has happened.
