In this two-fisted action novel, former POW Clifford Dee is constantly fighting from behind the eight ball. His 9 to 5 as a private investigator has shifted into lead hitman for a demanding Mafia boss. With his toes often on both sides of the law, this military man must walk a fine line to keep his nose out of real trouble. Resourceful and unafraid, Clifford is good at what he does. So good, in fact, that others are looking to remove him from the equation. The notorious Tye brothers get the jump on him. Liam Stacey nearly gets the better of him. With his quick mind and sharp wit, however, Clifford manages to dodge a few bullets. But who is really behind the attacks? Surely, the hired muscle isn’t calling the shots in this dangerous game. He’ll need to tap all his resources if he hopes to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to figure out who’s after him. No matter how it ends, there will definitely be blood.
Clifford’s War: The Bluegrass Battleground is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that reads like an action movie. The scenes are so graphic and realistic, you’ll smell the tang of blood and flinch at the crack of gunshots. Clifford is a dynamic and likable character, maintaining his sanity and humor in even the most dire of situations. When asked about the perks of being a hitman, he replies with his usual facetiousness, “The health benefits suck, but yeah, the pay is good.” While the vigorous story is primarily plot driven, J. Denison Reed populates the pages with a magnetic supporting cast. These friends, accomplices, and acquaintances add depth and kinship to an otherwise wild and wonderfully violent book. Chaos and crime explode from the page in the fast and frenetic novel, Clifford’s War.
