terrific private investigative journalist thriller

She started her inquiries seeking information on her neighbor's lost dog, who vanished from a supermarket parking lot. However, her inane investigation obviously disturbed someone because a thug assaults her in her home warning reporter Jan Mosby to back off or else. Jan refuses to let the punks win so going along with her editor's one demand, the C-2-C magazine editor Cybill Deming hires a bodyguard for her reporter, who happens to be Jan's boyfriend Joe Hannibal. Someone nails a badly mauled canine carcass to Jan's home as a final warning. Still Joe and Jan make inquiries into recent canine snatches and soon find a disturbing pattern. Numerous dogs have being taken throughout the Chicago metropolitan area as fodder for the training of pit bulls as killers. Could this be the work of the deadly head of Hellraisers, a dangerous biker gang? All Joe cares about is that his beloved Jan is safe and he is willing to die or kill to insure that remains so. This private investigative journalist blend is a terrific tale that readers will appreciate due to the fine likable lead couple. The story line moves at fast clip as the dynamic duo makes the rounds and begins finding evidence of inhuman abuse towards animals especially dogs, but nothing that ties back to the culprit. Wayne D. Dundee provides an exciting tale in which his two Js prove it's the fight in the people that make for a fine thriller. Harriet Klausner

JOE HANNIBAL RETURNS

Joe Hannibal keeps getting better and better. The character has been around for nearly twenty years, and this new adventure has the blue-collar private detective up to his ears with canine kidnappers, psychics, and a dangerous biker gang. Although Joe Hannibal has been compared to Mike Hammer, take note that the oft-nominated (Edgar, Shamus, and Anthony awards) Wayne Dundee writes with a depth of character not found in most hard-boiled novels. Dundee manages a suprise on every page right up to the explosive climax. You won't want to miss this one.
