Spoilers

by John Stamp

What happens when a clandestine group of politicians and intelligence operatives run prototype weapons through Lieutenant Peter Bank's jurisdiction? Nothing, they're clandestine, no one knows they exist or what they do... Right? Correct, right up until one of their prototype weapons turns up at a drug bust, along with a congressman's son who likes to moonlight as criminal elite. The paperwork on the arrest is not finished before an army of politicos and local executive pressure comes down on Banks and his narcotics unit like a thousand year flood. Everyone wants to make the arrest of a prominent politician's offspring go away, even Bank's own Chief of Police. Normally that wouldn't be a problem. Most cops follow orders from the chief, most cops have a stake in their careers. Peter Banks has been burned before by political fixers who seemed to think the various strata of society are not all created, or treated equally under the law. Banks also has a team behind him that would follow him to hell and back if it meant getting the job done. From an exclusive island off the coast of South Carolina, the mountains in the upstate, to the gutters of Charleston, SC Banks and his team will charge through mercenaries, assassins, and their own hierarchy to see justice done; and they will do it at terrible cost. Spoilers details what happens when a determined police unit puts service and doing the right thing above themselves. It is a fast paced, intricate, and explosive read that leaves the audience exhausted and begging for more after the last page is turned.

Spoilers by John Stamp is a fast paced, thought provoking, convoluted tale of a tough cop and his squad taking on corruption in high places. This story will make you think and leave you wrung out. Highly recommend.

Met the author at a new book shop not far from home and bought this one and its sequel. Read this one in a day! Love the characters and it’s wild to imagine everything described in an area I’ve lived in for the past 16 years. Stamp’s experience in the field he writes about are prevalent, but not so much so that the reader gets bored or doesn’t understand. When you live in the South amongst the good ole’ boy system laced with pluf-mud accents, it’s not a stretch to imagine crooked politicians, drugs, and blackmail. Looking forward to the next one in this series and all of his others! Great guy and a great writer! Glad I got to meet him and buy a couple of his books in person!

Excellent book.

I've read every book John Stamp has written other then the next one in this series. This one is by far the best. I could not put it down. It was worth the sleepless night. I can't wait to read the next one.

Loved it

Mr. Stamp writes in a way that I find both authentic and realistic. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and now look forward to exploring Charleston, and reading more John Stamp books.
