(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 06, 2011 ) Philadelphia, PA -- What if criminal decisions made in Sean’s late teens ended up changing the course of his entire life – after he’d gone straight? Crime novel author Scott L. Ward weaves this tale in his recently debuted thriller, The Courier. The Courier chronicles a violent nationwide war between the most powerful crime family in America and a rival Chinese gang. At the center of the story lies Sean, a former transporter for the mob, who unknowingly becomes involved with Janice Watts, a beautiful FBI agent. Throughout the book, the pendulum of life and death swings uncomfortably close between the two of them.
“Although this story will entertain anyone who enjoys thriller fiction, I’ve weaved some romance, crime and suspense throughout. This is what I consider to be one of the greatest attributes of the best crime novels,” explained Ward. “This isn’t just about a warring Italian mob and a Chinese gang. It exposes the afterlife of one character who was released from the mob after 10 years of service. Readers will discover that even though he was let out, the past can still come knocking… hard.”
While FBI agent Watts doesnÂ’t know how important Sean is in the hierarchy of the family, she realizes that heÂ’s also being trailed by a couple of mob watchdogs. Her pursuit turns to genuine love and thatÂ’s where Ward takes the story in a surprise direction.
The Courier was officially released through the Amazon.com Kindle Webstore November 2011. ThereÂ’s a free six chapter sample available on the Amazon.com Kindle Webstore, or it can be purchased and immediately downloaded from (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064A3ZCK).
