Killing Maine (Pono Hawkins Thriller, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Special Forces vet and surfer Pono Hawkins quits sunny Hawaii for Maine's brutal winter to help a former comrade beat a murder rap. Pono is hunted, shot at, betrayed, and stalked by knife-wielding assassins as he tries to find the real murderer. Nothing is certain, no one can be trusted, no place is safe. There's a million square miles of wildlands out there to hide a man's body. And with a rap sheet that includes two jail sentences, Pono is the target of every cop in the state.

A US national best-seller, Killing Maine won 1st Prize at the New England Book Festival. Number two in the Pono Hawkins series after the critically acclaimed, best-seller Saving Paradise, it is an insider's view of crooked Maine politics, environmental catastrophes and corporate graft, and how a lone commando hunts down those who hunt him, protects the women he loves, and defends a beautiful, endangered wilderness.

Editorial Reviews

"Another terrifically entertaining read from a master of the storytelling craft … A work of compelling fiction … Very highly recommended." -Midwest Book Review

"Another stellar ride from Bond; checking out Pono's first adventure isn't a prerequisite, but this will make readers want to." - Kirkus

"Bond returns with another winner in Killing Maine. Bond's ability to infuse his real-world experiences into a fast-paced story is unequaled." - Culture Buzz

"The suspense, mystery, and intrigue will keep you on the edge of your seat." - Goodreads

"The action is exciting, and a surprise awaits over each new page … Bond is clearly one of the master authors for thrillers of this century." - NetGalley

"In this multi-complex novel… Friendship, loyalty, love, revenge and greed are just some of the issues brought to light in this novel. Author Mike Bond scores some high points and shoots straight to the top of the rating list!" - Just Reviews

"Bond tackles many important social and environmental issues in a fast-paced, politically charged plot with a passionate main character. Killing Maine is a twisting mystery with enough suspicious characters and red herrings to keep you guessing. It's also a dire warning about the power of big industry and a commentary on our modern ecological responsibilities. A great read for the socially and environmentally conscious mystery lover." - Honolulu Star-Advertiser

"Killing Maine is quite a ride for those who love good crime thrillers. But, too, like its predecessor, it is much more than just another rousing crime thriller. This is another of Mike Bond's environmental eye-openers that will leave readers a lot wiser about alternative energy plans, state and federal politics, and the huge profits that are being stolen from the pockets of American taxpayers by the scam artists who often surround an industry like this one. I can't recommend this one strongly enough." - Book Chase
