Four allies battle a savage mob boss and a deadly terrorist — over 600 pages of revenge, mysteries, a serial killer and espionage, with a nuclear climax.
MEET STEVE McKUEN:
Brilliant and ruthless ex-criminal, McKuen has settled down to a regular life. Except...a series of murders in Santa Monica point to him. With his past, guilt is not a stretch of the imagination.
McKuen's Revenge (Book 1)
Someone's after McKuen; for what he doesn't know. His wife is kidnapped, an heirloom is stolen and the police suspect him of murder. Legendary detective Charlotte Coil isn't convinced that McKuen is guilty, and McKuen is determined to turn the tables on a nemesis he can't see. The thief is in for a surprise.
Coil’s Cold Justice (Book 2)
When a legendary detective tracks a serial killer, it's just a question of time, right? Not if the murderer is a detective, too. Trying to nail the killer, Charlotte Coil brings down the boldest smuggling ring in the west and uncovers a haunting memory from her past.
Annie's War (Book 3)
When young agent, Annie McCarthy, loses the rock of her world, she stops at nothing to track down the suspect. Is she hunting a terrorist? The government isn't saying. Can she outflank her foe, cunning and cruel, in her quest to avenge the wrong and make it right? Her shadow enemy, dominating and deadly, is closing in.
Carla's Mission: A Techno Thriller (Book 4)
When genius computer hacker, Carla Starr, encounters forces beyond her virtual power, she's baffled by her inability to defeat them. Is the government her enemy? Her friend? Can she keep her identity, her sanity? Can she even stay alive?
Annihilation (Book 5)
A deadly enemy, hidden in plain sight. When a series of murders in Santa Monica rockets into an act of terrorism, Steve McKuen, detective Charlotte Coil, agent Annie McCarthy and hacker Carla Starr are nearly annihilated. Can they outflank their foes, cunning and cruel? As they close in, they’re jolted by a bombshell.
Set in the gritty streets of present-day Los Angeles, Control is a technothriller that includes subplots of kidnapping, serial killers, vigilante justice and terrorism, with a dash of romance and some adult content.
Interview
The following interview with the author was conducted in December, 2015.Q - What makes Control unique?
A - Each of the books are one of five Parts of a massive novel, Control. Book 1, McKuen's Revenge, is a crime thriller that includes conspiracy, kidnapping, a serial killer and vigilante justice. Since I love reading mystery and thriller, private detective, political thrillers, and vigilante justice novels, I'm producing these genres in one book.
For instance, Books 1 and 2, McKuen's Revenge and Coil's Cold Justice are crime thrillers and share a few scenes from different peoples' points of view. Books 3 and 4, Annie's War and Carla's Mission introduce a political thriller and technothriller aspect while linking back to Books 1 and 2, and ahead to Book 5.
Each of the first four Books are based on a new lead character. The idea is to introduce and focus on each person, while at the same time driving the action forward, a real page-turner. Each Book's story so it stands alone, and you can read them in any order. All of the story and subplot threads tie up in Book 5, Annihilation, but each one contains its own main plot that climaxes and resolves in that Book of the series.
