Trouble In Monarto - 9781088214695

Trouble in Monarto Monarto is in the grip of a crimewave. The streets are ruled by crime bosses, Quido Spinoza and his spiteful nephew, Vincent Zendell. Into the frame comes Alex Jaeger, a retired Special Air Service soldier cum freelance thief, who just arrived to holiday in town when is mistaken for a hitman and targeted by Spinoza. On the morning of his first day in town he is attacked and in the confusion forced to abandon his suitcase full of ill-gotten loot from a previous job. It becomes his personal mission to even the score, in the process gaining the aid of a fringe dwelling social outcast biker, Took, and a drug dependent girl named Janie, struggling to free herself from addiction to the newly designed drug which is at the heart of the great conspiracy. In the process of the evening, the scoring trio discovers a global conspiracy in the planning, between international governments and a global crime boss, code name Cassandra. Amid a city under siege, as social unrest reaches a crescendo, it is the three social misfits versus organized crime. Putting personal safety aside, they risk it all to save society, in the process finding personal redemption and saving the world from the darkness it never sees coming. ??About The Author: T H O M A S J A M E S T A Y L O R, born Dec 1st, 1954.
