McGrave

by Lee Goldberg
McGrave by Lee Goldberg
Unrated

Hold on tight for a wild, rollicking, action-adventure novella that captures all of the fun, excitement and pure escapist pleasure of the Dirty Harry, Lethal Weapon and the Die Hard movies...with the humor, sharp dialogue and inventiveness that you've come to expect from Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author of True Fiction.

Los Angeles cop John "Tidal Wave" McGrave is an unstoppable force of nature who always gets his man...even if it means laying waste to everything around him, including his own career...which is exactly what happens in his pursuit of Sebastian Richter, the ruthless leader of an international gang of violent thieves. When Richter flees to Berlin, McGrave chases after him...even though the cop doesn't know the language, the laws, or the culture. But McGrave doesn't care...he speaks the universal language of knee in the groin and fist in the face...and he won't let anything get in his way.

"McGrave" is guaranteed to leave you breathless...and with a big smile on your face.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR McGRAVE:

"Sitting down to read McGrave is like getting hit in the face with a double-fistload of two-by-four. For those of you who thrill to the throaty roar of a V-8 engine and long for the days when policework came from Bruce Willis University, Lee Goldberg has got a read for you. Strap in and hold tight," Mel Odom, author of the Left Behind Apocalypse series

"Lee Goldberg has answered one of my prayers. A new lawman-in-new-territory series. McGrave is everything I've been waiting for. This a first-rate, one-night read. For me it's a five-star implementation of a five-star idea," Mugshots Blog

""The fastest-paced book I read this year and maybe the most purely entertaining. It's a fish-out-of-water cop thriller that's great fun from start to finish. Goldberg pulls off a very neat trick, producing a yarn that's part serious, part satire, and all action. It seems like I had a grin on my face the whole time I was reading it. I loved it," James Reasoner, author of Texas Wind

"This book is the literary equivalent of buffalo wings and boilermakers. " Post Modern Pulps

"It's terrific. Non-stop action and a lot of laughs. Reading it was like watching a great action movie." Bill Crider, author of Outrage at Blanco.

Lee Goldberg

Lee Goldberg has always been fascinated by the threads that connect people, places, and events, and how a single overlooked detail can unravel a mystery. From an early age, he was drawn to stories where clever observation and human intuition met danger and deception, a fascination that would shape his career as a writer of crime, thriller, and mystery fiction.

His novels and series explore the intricate mechanics of suspense, focusing on characters whose intelligence, flaws, and moral choices drive the story as much as the plot itself. Goldberg’s protagonists often navigate worlds of hidden motives, intricate schemes, and unexpected betrayals, inviting readers into puzzles that are both psychologically rich and emotionally engaging. With a voice that balances tension, wit, and insight, he creates narratives that linger long after the last page.

Goldberg’s writing style is characterized by meticulous plotting, layered characterization, and an ability to make the ordinary feel charged with possibility. Themes of deception, loyalty, and the consequences of human ambition recur throughout his work, creating stories that are as thoughtful as they are suspenseful. His books appeal to readers who enjoy intelligent mysteries, fast‑paced thrillers, and the kind of character-driven crime fiction that rewards attention to detail and patience for the reveal.

Across his career, Goldberg has crafted a body of work that has been widely recognized for its inventiveness and accessibility, blending traditional detective work with contemporary storytelling. His contributions to the crime and thriller genres reflect both a mastery of suspense and a deep understanding of what keeps readers engaged, curious, and turning pages well into the night.
