When a man with a conscience bent on revenge rids society of those who destroy the lives of innocent people, is he a criminal, a hero…or The Delivery Man?The doorbell rings. You answer it. The handsome man holding a bouquet asks your name. When you confirm you’re the one the flowers are for, he pulls out his pistol and silencer and puts a bullet in the center of your forehead.If the Delivery Man pays you a visit, it means you did something despicable to someone who trusted you, and now it’s time to pay.The FBI determines that the same gun was used in several hits across the U.S. and Asia, and Special Agent Pai Lee Valentine of the Serial Homicide Division is assigned to hunt down the maniacal assassin.Doggedly profiling her prey, she finds he’s not the serial killer or homicidal maniac her boss, Fred Barrett, thinks he is.But the fact remains, it’s Valentine’s job to bring the Delivery Man in…or kill him.Unexpectedly, Valentine is thrown into one action scene after another; a Los Angeles shootout, a quick-action helicopter and missile attack to eliminate the head of the Vietnamese underworld, and thwarting two terrorist bio-gas attacks on American soil.As the Delivery Man reveals the deeply impassioned motives behind his murderous spree, you’re suddenly cheering him on and looking forward to seeing him track down his next victim.Is he a criminal…or a vigilante? Valentine must make a choice. Does she arrest the Delivery Man for the murders, or let him continue to eliminate those that deserve it?It’s between the letter of the law…justice…and her heart.The Delivery Man is a cleverly woven action thriller and murder mystery interlaced with just the right amounts of revenge, espionage, romance, humor and deceit. It’s truly an All American Story.

About the author
Jon D'Amore
10 books10 followersIt was the 1960s. The place was Hudson County, New Jersey…mere minutes away from midtown Manhattan. Jon D’Amore was first published at 10. A story he’d written about the Civil War was transformed into a mimeographed book and distributed throughout the county school system. He went on to write for the school newspaper.
During that time the pre-teenager also began studying the guitar, leading him to hone his love and knowledge of music and the art of composing. By his mid-20s Jon was traveling cross-country as a musician.
While touring during the 1970s, he was also a feature writer for New Jersey’s 3rd largest newspaper, The Passaic Herald News, simultaneously allowing him to enjoy the best of his favorite worlds; Playing rock & roll and writing.
In 1985, Jon found a different side of life. He said, “Goodbye and it’s been a slice!” to the music business and got a job in the corporate world.
By 1999, another change was about to take place. For more than two decades Jon knew that within him there was the desire and ability to write, it’s just that New Jersey wasn’t the place to do it. So he drove to Los Angeles…and stayed.
He started writing as soon as he arrived and didn’t stop until the manuscript and screenplay for The Boss Always Sits In The Back were completed.
Since then, Jon’s written and co-written several screenplays and articles, and is currently co-writing the screenplay “The Chess Club” with famed Disney director, Brad Raymond.
Jon still resides in California where he writes all the time… and continues to wait for the check that’s supposedly in the mail.

The story was fun, some parts were gripping…the downfall? Well, it felt like it was a debut novel from a novice. Cheesy lines, littered throughout the whole story snapped you back to reality instead of loosing yourself in the story. Insert the eye roll just when you think it’s a good part but the author decided to mess it up with some cliche line. Ending was a little flat for me as well. If you’re looking for a quick fun read with some vengeance (albeit sometimes cheesy) then read this. If you want something with real substance and to read like you’ve lost yourself, this isn’t the book for you.

The Delivery Man is a fast paced, action packed adventure novel with romance and humor to boot! Anyone who's been burned by our legal system will certainly relate to this read, and those of you who haven't been burned will find yourself rooting for the different characters at different stages of this page turning novel. Once you pick up The Delivery Man you won't want to put it down!
