About the author
Andy King
20 books3 followersCareening down the switchbacks of Highway 1 in Big Sur, it came to him -- he had to do something. With the stories he'd lived through, sharing them was almost good works.
Early on King was a professional musician, then worked in the motion picture business. Later demoted to the software industry, he realized that the keyboard had been following him around for years, so...it was time to write books.
King's debut novel, Illusion, was based on a person he knew with a what-if twist: what if the former-drug-dealer-now-bar-owner was a nice guy, a moral guy, not a maniac, but pursued by consequences from his past? Crime thrillers evolved, like The Greatest Game, starring female sleuth, Charlotte Coil. A slice of inspirational romance with a dash of the paranormal came from other characters King has known, colorful people with checkered pasts, mashed up with urban legends.
The books feature dark romance, mystery and suspense, political figures, terrorists and mafia assassins that result in Secret Service, FBI and CIA involvement. But they're no match for vigilante justice dispensed by the lead characters. You'll find them disturbing and intriguing in their quests for vengeance, and ultimately, freedom.

"A Good Secret Service & Political Thriller"
This is the first of a series about the amazingly confident and smart Secret Service Agent Annie McCarthy. She's investigating the murder of political campaign Research Director, Carrie Sun, who she'd been assigned to protect. Annie has an amazing history and is determined to take on the task of personally investigating this murder. Hopefully she'll prevent more murders which may follow. Considering our own 2016 campaigns today, this just may become reality! I have to say the story line is a bit shallow as there could be more descriptions and enticement for readers. Regardless, this short story is a must read.
