Can't put it down! Harold Grabbed my attention on the second page. Takes so many turns. The characters come to life, and you cannot even fathom the ending. Be prepared, you cannot put this down once you start. G. Swinney One of the best thrillers I've read in a while.

Amy Bright This book is an exciting read and very well written. Mr. Eade has certainly earned his place on my list of favorite writers. I buy a lot of books from Amazon and most of the so called thriller writers are not. Mr. Eade is the real deal for me.Stewart Rothwell, UK...

Biographie:
Described by critics as one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene, author Kenneth Eade, best known for his legal and political thrillers, practiced International law, Intellectual Property law and E-Commerce law for 30 years before publishing his first novel, An Involuntary Spy. Eade, an award-winning, best-selling Top 100 thriller author, has been described by his peers as one of the up-and-coming legal thriller writers of this generation. He is the 2015 winner of Best Legal Thriller from Beverly Hills Book Awards and the 2016 winner of a bronze medal in the category of Fiction, Mystery and Murder from the Reader's Favorite International Book Awards. His latest novel, Paladine, a quarter-finalist in Publisher's Weekly's 2016 BookLife Prize for Fiction and winner in the 2017 RONE Awards. Eade has authored three fiction series: The Brent Marks Legal Thriller Series, the Involuntary Spy Espionage Series and the Paladine Anti-Terrorism Series. He has written twenty novels which have been translated into French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.I've been writing all my life, but began publishing my work out of a passion for the environment. My wife, Valentina, is a professional photographer, who worked for two years on an environmental exhibition called, Bee Cause I Care which was exhibited in 2014 by the Prince Albert II Foundation to bring awareness to the importance of pollinators and the dangers facing them. I penned a few articles on the subject for the Los Angeles Daily Journal and turned my research into my first book, Bless the Bees. That passion continued with the publication of my novel, An Involuntary Spy, which is an action thriller that also points to the dangers of genetically engineered food. Then I began publishing the Brent Marks Legal Thriller Series, which, in part, is based on actual experiences during my long career in law.I try to put as much realism in my novels as possible, and they all revolve around important social issues. I treasure all of my readers and love to hear from them, whether it's good or bad. Sometimes I make changes based on their suggestions and one reader has inspired a character that has appeared in my latest seven novels.Email: info@kennetheade.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KennethGEadeBestsellingauthorTwitter: https://twitter.com/KennethEade1ECommerce site: http://www.amazonsellers.attorney
