Andrew Bourelle is an associate professor of English at the University of New Mexico, where he teaches rhetorical creative writing and communication techniques. He has published numerous stories in literary magazines and fiction anthologies, as well as several novels, some written together with James Patterson (“Texas Ranger” and “Texas Outlow”), others independently – “Heavy Metal” and the present novel, with the original title “48 Hours to Kill”.
It is one of the most captivating thrillers, with a dense, albeit tough action, with unexpected twists and turns, with well-defined characters, alert rhythm, which conveys to the reader an overwhelming sense of authenticity.
The editors write:
“A convict on parole discovers a terrible secret about his sister’s mysterious death – and returns to the underworld to uncover the truth. Imprisoned for an armed attack, Ethan Lockhart dreams of having a normal life someday. But when he gets a 48-hour leave to attend his sister Abby’s funeral, he realizes that no one has seen her body and decides to find out what happened to her. Loan shark Shark, Ethan’s former boss, now runs a criminal empire. As Ethan and Abby’s best friend find new clues, they are more and more convinced that Shark is responsible for the murder, but they have no proof. If he wants to solve the mystery of Abby’s death in 48 hours, Ethan will have to become the criminal he swore he would never be again.”
Naturally, the truth is much more complex, and the perpetrator is a character you don’t expect in the first part of the book.
“A perfect time-limited action thriller with depth, characters and mystery — I wholeheartedly recommend it.” – Lee Child
“A fast-paced story and a wonderful way to spend, if not 48 hours, at least three or four.” – Kirkus Reviews
