<p>Thanks to Dolores Ayotte for the great review on Amazon: “Great Thriller!! Damaged Goods is the second book that I've read and reviewed by this talented author. The first one is not part of this series, therefore, this is my first exposure to the main character, Hannibal Jones. He is what appears to be a really "neat" guy. He is a private investigator who knows how to get to the bottom of any problem that comes his way. Jones is extremely capable and efficient as he sniffs out a crime in order to bring about some kind of justice in his own unique way. In this fictional novel, Jones remains intimidated by some heavy duty, mob connected individuals...and refuses to cower in the presence of some very descriptive crime scenes. He also appears to be a man with a conscience which further endears him to me. His main squeeze is successful lawyer, Cindy Santiago, whose presence spices up the plot with their little romance.</p>
<p>Author Austin Camacho manages to adeptly spin a suspenseful yarn as he entices his reading audience to be drawn right into the storyline. He certainly had my attention right from the get go. I not only enjoyed the main character, Hannibal Jones, but also his supporting cast of individuals who add to the thrill of this mystery. Yes...this is definitely a great mystery thriller, as it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It offers many twists and turns and a very unpredictable ending. Good stuff!</p>

<p>Tomorrow is the last day that The Payback Assignment is on sale for .99, and I love that Canadian readers are leaving great reviews on Amazon:</p>
<p>"The Payback Assignment is a fictional thriller with likeable main characters, Felicity O'Brian and Morgan Stark. Their paths cross in a very unpredictable and suspenseful way. Felicity, fondly called Red by Morgan immediately after their first encounter, is a beautiful, seasoned, jewel thief of Irish descent with a head of natural red hair to match her nickname. She hires herself out to steal the most precious gems for her many rich clients in pursuit of some desired/desirable item to add to their collection. Morgan, on the other hand, is a black mercenary soldier who hires himself out to do the most unthinkable escapades for a big price. He does not consider himself to be a hit man and only accepts capers that match his area of expertise.</p>
<p>Both Felicity and Morgan find themselves double-crossed by the same man. Adrian Seagrave, appears to be a legitimate, successful, import/export business man. His wife Marlene, ten years his junior, seems to be totally naive about his ruthlessness or has little information about the extent of his lack of scruples in his illegal business dealings. She has expressed a desire to own the gem that Felicity has been hired to steal while Morgan has been hired to create political unrest in Belize by the same man, her husband.</p>
<p>Felicity and Morgan manage to hook up to right the wrong that they feel has been committed against them by Adrian Seagrave. They soon discover that they each possess a "sixth sense" that creates an almost mystical connection between the two of them. They then decide to double their efforts and combine their rare skills in order to get back what they feel is rightfully theirs...the money for the capers and to retrieve the priceless, one-of-a kind gem, that was taken from Felicity after she expertly stole it. Yes indeed...this dynamic duo are on a mission. It's definitely payback time and Author Austin Camacho spins a graphic and suspenseful yarn to go with their persistent efforts to pursue their idea of justice. There's a neat twist at the end of the novel to add to the pleasure of the reading audience. What's up next for this unlikely pair as they continue to do what they do best? Only time will tell but...it's definitely something to look forward to!</p>

<p>“Take Ed McBain, Mickey Spillane, and a dash of Lawrence Block and what do you get? Austin Camacho! And Camacho means non-stop action, inside knowledge of military procedures and the world of the FBI & DEA. Camacho knows how to keep us turning pages with the deft hand of a master at action and adventure with heroes that make Bond a boyscout by comparison. The Ice Woman Assignment is the 4th installment of the Stark & O'Brien Series, and it provides more entertainment than a Magician Convention in Vegas; a truly adult roller-coaster if ever there was one.”</p>
