The Raven

Mike Nappa is an entertainment journalist at PopFam.com, as well as a bestselling and award-winning author with more than one million books sold worldwide.  When he was a kid, the stories of Edgar Allen Poe scared him silly.  Today he wons everything Poe ever wrote.  A former fiction acquisitions editor, Mike earned his MA in English literature and now writes full time.  He is the author of Annabel Lee.

As part of his street performance, a deception specialist who goes by the name The Raven picks his audience's pockets while they watch.  It's harmless fun - until he decides to keep the wallet of a prominent politician, hoping for a few extra bucks.  When he finds compromising photos of the councilman and his "personal assistants", The Raven hatches a plan to blackmail the man.  However, he quickly finds himself in over his head with the Ukranian Mafia and mired in a life-threatening plot code-named "Nevermore".

Private investigators Trudi Coffey and Samuel Hill must scramble to sort out the clues fo rescue The Raven from a wild card bent on revenge.



My Thoughts:
Mike Nappa is a brilliant storyteller!  I enjoyed the first Coffey & Hill novel, Annabel Lee and The Raven did not disappoint!  The Raven is rife with great characters, intrigue, suspense, and mystery. The tension between Trudi and Samuel is thicker than ever!  The twists and turns will keep the reader turning pages until the very end.  Do not start this one before bed.  The main character, The Raven is one that readers will love to hate, hate to love and in the end just plain love!  This is a breathless thrill ride for sure.  Don't miss it!

Happy Reading Ya'll,
