Picture If an award is ever given for the most action-packed book of the year, Days of Reckoning should be among the nominees. The story blasts from beginning to end, leaving this reader afraid to put it aside for fear it might keep going without her.

Description: August 1940 He wasn’t supposed to be on the plane. Now Major Faust is a prisoner of the English and he must escape before they break him. But every time he gets away, a woman is raped and murdered. The English need someone to hang. He’s the hot suspect. He’s got to catch the killer, even though he’s helping the enemy. It’s collaboration, almost treason. It’s making a Deal with the Devil.

“First draft blues:
"He tested the stick and glanced at the set handbrake. With his feet he felt the accelerator, the brake, the clutch. Backwards, but otherwise just the same, and comforting in a solid, mechanical way. It even smelled right, oil, petrol, lubricated warm metal, and the polished windshield seemed transparent in the night’s silver flood.”
J. Gunnar Grey, Deal With the Devil, Part One

“For though my rhyme be ragged,
Tattered and jagged,
Rudely rain-beaten,
Rusty and moth-eaten,
If ye take well therewith,

John Skelton

“I leave off therefore,
Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.”
Thomas Wyatt

“Fool," said my muse to me. "Look in thy heart and write.”

“I now have learn’d Love right, and learn’d even so,
As who by being poisoned doth poison know.”
