MY FRIDAY 56

Even so, the spell of seduction Hunt had woven over Powell still held:  Everything and everyone involved in the MicroCosmic deal would come out golden if Hunt’s scheme succeeded. Because Anthony Tiburon Hunt had gotten his hands on the invention of the century:  a superconducting microprocessor.

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS

The church was dark until John Fortunato struck the match. The point of light revealed rows of votive candles in red glass sleeves. John touched the match to a wick.

“God keep you Jamie Doolan,” he murmured.

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS

As a soldier in Vietnam, John Fortunato fought in the crushing darkness of the tunnels of Cu Chi, from which the Vietcong launched their deadliest operations. Back home in Elk River, Illinois, he secretly re-created those deadly tunnels. Partly a memorial, partly a kind of exorcism, they now lie hidden beneath the town’s peaceful streets.

But that peace shatters when Fortunato witnesses the brutal sidewalk shooting of an innocent victim. The vicious crime is only the first assault by a man who will wage a full-scale battle to control Elk River. And on the front line is John Fortunato, whose secret tunnels will provide the battleground for his own war. As his enemy is about to learn, when this veteran warrior goes down, he’s just beginning to fight.
