#BookReview of Crossfire by James P. Sumner aka @jpsbothbarrels #NewRelease #Thriller

I was first introduced to the work of James P. Sumner in 2015 when his book, A Necessary Kill , was up for nomination in the Kindle Scout program. It won that nomination and I was provided a copy upon its release. It wasn't until after I got it that I realized it was the fifth book in the Adrian Hell series. Nevertheless, I read it and became an instant admirer of the main characters and their creator. I gradually added the other books to my collection. Since I started following Mr. Sumner and reading his  emails , I have had a behind-the-scenes look at the series development.

This past year, inspiration and Mr. Sumner became great friends because of his love of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The first book in what Mr. Sumner calls 'Thrillerverse' is Crossfire . This book is interconnected with the Adrian Hell series as it features a trio of characters who joined forces in D.E.A.D. Till I Die . Since you get a spoiler for the Adrian Hell series off the bat, you have a choice. First, if you've read all of the series then you are good to go. Second, if you haven't read the series and, are not sensitive to violence as well as adult language and situations, then 'tuck into' the first book . When you've caught up, open this one up and be amazed at the transformation.

Brief Synopsis: Jericho Stone, Julie Fisher, and Ray Collins are an elite GlobaTech team. This tight-knit group faces unforeseen challenges as they work with a client who wasn't as forthcoming as he should have been. Will their talent and communication skills be enough to bring them home?

My take: I really enjoyed how Mr. Sumner blended the MCU concept into this story. While the trio is experiencing their challenges, there is a subtle subplot that weaves its way through. Along with the other James P. Sumner fans, I will have to await the next thrilling adventure. 

As of 2 October 2018, you can purchase Crossfire directly via Mr. Sumner's online book store  in addition to  Amazon US , Apple , Barnes & Noble , Google Play , or Kobo .

Mr. James P. Sumner has an  author website  and can be followed on  BookBub , Facebook , Instagram , Ko-Fi , Patreon , and  Twitter .
