Kelly's Second Bestselling, Award-Winning, Thriller Novel

For readers seeking plenty of searing intensity, plenty of mind-bending mystery, plenty of heart-racing suspense and plenty of hellish horror. 

When tragedy affects his life, an unconvicted, "politically-shielded" professional killer blames and hunts a young woman. He pursues sweet revenge. Her beloved adoptive family circle the wagons around her. This time, for him, it's more than a job, It's a welcomed war. Can the family survive? How? 

In Prosperity, Texas, charm begins at the county line, a large mint green sign reads: "Wholesome Living in a Storybook setting". A town park—resplendent with yellow, pink and red roses, a white gazebo, a stout limestone footbridge, a pond flanked by Weeping Cherry trees and nesting Mallard ducks—locks-in the message.

Yet, beneath the idyllic sugar-coated appearance, plenty of problems plague Prosperity—political corruption, an influx of illegal drugs, road rage, theft, prostitution and pornography. Sheriff Gordon has put his stamp on Prosperity—reaping huge profits in the process. His go-to-enforcer, Bruce, a cocaine-addicted, misogynistic, hit man maintains law, order and iron-fisted justice as per Gordon's aggressive agenda.

Camille, a gorgeous, lonely, young woman has caught the unwavering eye and attention of Gordon's son, Grant. Handsome, wealthy, powerful, sadistic Grant and naive Camile become a couple in spite of Gordon's fury. Camille has also enchanted Ben, Bruce's only son, and Grant's best friend.

Crippled by circumstances - a dysfunctional family, adolescence, immaturity, a bad romance, a lack of education and ambition, how can she prevail?

Can this nightmare become any more hellish? Yes.

For mature audiences only. DLSV.

Kelly's First Bestselling, Award-Winning Thriller Novel

After the USSR collapses, a time reminiscent of the unforgiving gun-slinging days of the frontier West, mild-mannered Ethan and hot-blooded Sophia board a plane bound for corrupt, crime-infested Russia. Armed only with a homespun plan, the desperate American couple hopes to adopt a baby boy. What can go wrong?

Honestly, what won’t go wrong? Maybe an innocent ill-fated encounter with the Mafia, or maybe being marked as a target for mob revenge. Perhaps, having to rely on a first-time adoption coordinator to complete the process and shelter them from harm.

Crippled by circumstances—no language skills, no cell phone, no clue, no landline, no gun, no nearby family and a baby to protect—they have to escape. Everything and anything can go wrong. How can they succeed?

For mature audiences only. DLSV.

Inspired by a true story.
