Dead Ending

by martin charles

Overview

Dead Ending is unique as there is not a book that has incorporated the daily dangers a firefighter must endure with multiple threats from the MS-13 and Al Qaeda, WMD, assassins, and arsonists. This fast-paced thriller, crisply written, will appeal to everyone as the entire McNamara family strives to survive tragedy, then one enemy after another.

Dead Ending is set in New England and centered around legendary Boston Firefighter John J. McNamara and his family. John has returned to his childhood home in Lowell, Massachusetts, with his children after his wife's unsolved murder. Thirty years ago, his mother and sister died, and he blames himself for both tragedies. Life is just returning to normal when all hell breaks loose. John's daughter Kelly witnesses a homicide disguised as arson, and her life is threatened by the MS-13. It rapidly goes downhill for the McNamara's. I guarantee a high-octane rollercoaster ride that will leave you emotionally drained until the last page.
