Rebel'sTrap

John Travis is in so much danger that he just barely keeps himself alive. Now it's become harder. He has to protect Mary O'Connell, even though she loathes him.-----Travis' career has hit rock-bottom. He now works as bait to attract high-end killers and might not last another month. Travis is cheerful, though. He's been in far worse situations, one of them deep inside the old USSR as their top assassins hunted him down.Mary's career is at its peak, and maybe going much higher. She'll sell two of her paintings at an elite auction this weekend, likely clearing millions of dollars. Even so, she's mad at God. She's been angry with Him for two years.She's soon mad at John Travis, too. Their relationship would've ended the same hour it began except for Mary's father. He's retired now, running the art gallery that sells Mary's art. Hardly anyone knows it, but before becoming an art dealer, her father was America's most successful spymaster ever.Travis owes him a big favor, and reluctantly agrees to drive Mary back to Dallas. They'll go through nighttime New Mexican desert. It's a dark, lonely trip that will turn deadly little more than forty miles into it, when a team of seven killers ambushes Travis' SUV.That all sets the stage for what we think is a terrific read. It's one of our longest novels, but we expect you'll find the story absolutely flies. You might well wish it were longer still. That's how we, ourselves, felt.Rebel's Trap is part of Randall Jarmon's Riley/ Blue Dog series. The Riley/ Blue Dog books can be read in any order. That said, some readers might want to go by the sequence, which is discussed at mikvelk.com.We think you'll find that Rebel's Trap has plenty of action, romance, and suspense. There seem about as many heartwarming moments as heart-pounding moments. Even so, it doesn't have a dog. Not to worry. A very cool beagle awaits readers in Randall Jarmon's Spitzer Zahn, which builds upon Rebel's Trap.MIKVELK Publishing, LLC
