Straight Shot
Take Tom Keeler, a recently decommissioned officer in an elite special operations unit of the United States Air Force, now a man on an open ended vacation in Europe. Your function was kill or be killed, seek and destroy, and now you’re among civilians.
And you’ve arrived in this small French town, where your mother spent her summers. But, things don’t immediately compute for your heightened powers of perception. For example, three men try and knife you right off the bat. Which wasn’t very smart of them, but whatever, you start getting interested in the why of it.
And things start adding up. Like the beautiful police officer Cecile Nazari, and the fact that your elderly cousin was stabbed in the head with a sharpened screwdriver. And the local cops are behaving weirdly, like they’ve got something to hide.
So, yeah, maybe you start to get interested in what’s going on. Do a little digging and discover that the situation in Alencourt, France is even worse than you thought.
When a guy like Tom Keeler gets interested, the life expectancy of the perpetrators begins to shrink. But, here in Alencourt the rot is deep, and the hidden enemies are vicious and ruthless and very, very smart.

Jack Lively is the author of the Tom Keeler series of thriller novels.
Jack has worked as a fisherman, an ice cream truck driver, underwater cinematographer, gas station attendant, and outboard engine repairman. The other thing about Jack is that since he grew up without a TV, before the internet, he was always reading. And later on, Jack started writing. All through those long years working odd jobs and traveling around, Jack wrote. He’d write in bars and cafes, on boats and trains and even on long haul bus trips.
Eventually Jack finished a book and figured he might as well see if anyone wanted to read it.
