Internationally best-selling author Rick Mofina crafts breathtaking fiction that ratchets up suspense to nerve-jangling levels. Police officer Karl Styebeck has been called a hero, but his badge takes on an ugly tarnish when he's linked to the deaths of two women. Driven by personal demons, reporter Jack Gannon lays it all on the line to get to the truth-even if it means rolling the dice with his own life. "Vengeance Road is a thriller with no speed limit! It's a great read!" -Michael Connelly

"Twisty, multi-threaded, and gritty thriller of a newspaper reporter trying to solve a string of murders in Buffalo, NY, while recapturing his Pulitzer-nominee luster. The tone and character remind me of Michael Connelly's newspaper novels. Memorable villain. "
— Ed (5 out of 5 stars)
" There are much better mystery writers out there: Agatha Christie, Daphne DuMaurier, Patricia Cornwell, Michael Connelly. . ."Vengeance Road" is sophomoric. "

— Georgeann, 12/22/2013" Another seat of your pants page turner! I really enjoy the Jack Gannon series.......... "
— Ryan, 12/19/2013" Good story. Got me started reading his other novels. "
— Joseph, 11/2/2013" Jack Gannon is a reporter, in the old sense of the word. He finds a story, investigates, writes, and never gives up his integrity, no matter what the boss wants. The book was worth it just for him. The crime itself, or rather the story of the family of the murderer, is twisted and strange. "
— Jacque, 10/24/2013" This is just what I expected from a Rick Mofina novel. A good murder mystery that ties up all the ends for me. It's not great literature, but it is fun "
— Patricia, 10/5/2013" Good, not great, reporter investigating murder story. It's a nice read and can be put down and picked back up some time later because the plot is fairly simple. "
— Christen, 7/16/2013" Read book in 3 days (every time I had a spare moment!) kept me interested. Def recommend! "
— CC, 2/15/2013" Not his best book, but still really really good! "
— Jamie, 1/27/2013" I really don't like one-sentence paragraphs. "
— Lindig, 12/2/2012" Twisty, multi-threaded, and gritty thriller of a newspaper reporter trying to solve a string of murders in Buffalo, NY, while recapturing his Pulitzer-nominee luster. The tone and character remind me of Michael Connelly's newspaper novels. Memorable villain. "
— Ed, 10/10/2012" The first in the Jack Gannon series, looking forward to the second. "
— Patsy, 8/28/2012" Like a dog that won't let go of his bone, this is a story of a reporter that won't let go of the story no matter what happens, even to the point of losing his job to protect a source. A very good mystery thriller that is a very good read. "
— Brian, 8/17/2012" I enjoyed the fact that Rick's choice of protagonist was a journalist. Too often you see a cop or former military at the forefront. But drawing from his own past Rick Mofina made a believable hero out of his hard nose journalist Jack Gannon. "
— Cynthia, 2/9/2012" Really good...couldn't put it down. His next one won't be out until 2010. "
