Three Minute Hero (Luke Fischer Novels) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Luke Fischer knows he can’t go home again—unless it’s to follow a hired killer who bumped off his employer’s nephew.

Luke’s shady friend and benefactor sends him across two borders to find a man who goes by many names … but mostly Mostly Harold, a lizard-boot-wearing hit man with a fondness for Burt Bacharach, Louis L’Amour, acidic observations and sucker punches. Little does Luke realize that he’s not only chasing the man, he’s chasing the one-woman crime wave who’s mesmerized the man. And soon enough Luke’s also chasing the memory of the woman who once mesmerized him.

Before he knows it, Luke is caught up in a Canadian prairie war between rival factions after a cache of illicit cash. As the bullet casings, bodies and beer bottles start to stack up, Luke finds himself reflecting on the choices made, and unmade, that turned him into a two-fisted mayhem-maker for hire. Is this who he is? Is there something else he could and should be? And most importantly, will he live enough to find out?

THREE MINUTE HERO, Craig Terlson’s latest taut and propulsive Luke Fischer action thriller, shows that while you can come home again, you can’t stay there. Or anywhere. Not for long, at any rate…and not without finding yourself reducing the population.

"Best yet in the Luke Fischer oeuvre."
"Luke and Mostly Harold are two of my favorite crime fiction characters."
"It is hard to read a Craig Terlson book and not stop to have a beer and order tacos."
