NEW RELEASE….
After a life filled with destruction of others and himself, and his body ravaged by disease, there’s only one thing left for Javier Calero to do. Leave a legacy that will finally bring meaning to his life—and to the death of an American president more than fifty years ago.
The CEO of a green energy company is murdered behind his million-dollar estate, his neck nearly severed in two. Recruited to aid the widow and find a savage killer, Booker finds himself in the middle of a family train wreck.
Days later, thrust into the crossfire of a deadly sniper, Booker eludes sure death with the uncanny arrival of a young woman who only wants to save her father from harm. But she can’t do it without Booker’s help.
Joining forces with a Latin spitfire, Booker and his new sidekick, Maggie, embark on a twenty-four-hour quest to hunt down a killer determined to make an indelible mark on history—just like the one that struck down John F. Kennedy a half-century earlier, which launched a cascade of assassination investigations and theories.
BOOKER – Hate City weaves a historic tale of thrills and suspense, examining the justifications of the unjustifiable.
I cannot get enough of the Booker series.
I love a good mystery, suspense read and the Booker series is exactly that.
The previous books in the series were great mystery reads that I couldn’t figure out, but I felt like Booker: Hate City was a puzzle of sorts.
There were 2 murders that were committed in a similar manner, missing items from a museum, and law enforcement officer looking for her father. How they all linked together (or if they did) was a puzzle!
There are always a case or two that are occurring in the Booker books, but this one definitely had more than the typical “couple” – making it even more suspenseful (because we aren’t sure if they are linked, how to solve one when another pops up, etc.)
Of course, I never had the ending pinned – I have yet to have the ending figured out before Booker finds out or before the suspect makes themselves known – another reason I love the Booker series.
Male or female – if you enjoy a good suspense and mystery book, the Booker series is a must!

On a cool October afternoon, the majestic blue sky above Dallas is polluted with swells of gray smoke, carrying shattered memories of fifteen people, mostly children, who’ve just been killed by an explosion on a bus.
A white supremacist group claims responsibility, opening old wounds, turning neighbor against neighbor–fracturing the community.
A Southeast Dallas native, Booker T. Adams couldn’t be more invested in the city…in the people he’d served for the last seven years as a beat cop for the Dallas Police Department. Without warning, it becomes personal for Booker on so many levels. And as panic grips the city, he must decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice to end the chaos.
With his career called into question and his family in the crosshairs of one terrorist act after another, Booker invests every fiber of his being to protect a broken community, and to stop the brutal, senseless slayings.
