A Bona Fide Literary Thrill Ride

A no-nonsense assassin at the top of his game, The Raven is a highly effective "problem solver" whose methods and results are beyond question. So, with the end of World War II long since passed and an infamous war criminal still on the loose, Interpol agents desperate to bring the sadistic killer to justice have no other option but to call on the only one even more vicious than he is...little does The Raven know, though, his handlers have much more sinister plans in mind for his well-honed services...

Taut, engaging, and supremely well written, The Raven Affair is a superb instant classic. With more than its fair share of break-neck action and mind-numbing suspense, author Steven Nedelton's compelling political thriller is a fast-paced page turner, the literary equivalent of such silver screen jewels as the Bourne series. Further bolstering the high-stakes mystery tale is a highly believable central storyline of murder and mayhem in the name of global domination - quite the tantalizing fodder for fans of complex narratives involving intricate conspiracy theories brought to vivid life on the page.

With nonstop action and intriguing, well defined characters, The Raven Affair is a bona fide literary thrill ride guaranteed not to disappoint. Highly recommended. ---Renee Washburn
