Overview
A LIT STICK OF DYNAMITE is a crime fiction novel about a seemingly staid banker who enlists his old crew of hooligans for help after his ex-wife disappears under the shadow of a new-age criminal empire.
Description
Dean Kingston Ellis is bank president with a legendary gunman's past and a suddenly missing ex-wife. When she leaves him a desperate message, Ellis dives back into the underworld of Boston to enlist the help of his brutal band of estranged enforcers. Along the way, Ellis and his crew are joined by the elusive Mina Bell, a woman with a well of dark secrets deeper than a canyon in hell. Together, this unlikely comical band ignites a two-front war with a burgeoning crime lord in Newport and a transplanted mafia clan from New York. But can Ellis save someone who was never meant to be found? Set in Boston's backstreets of Chinatown and the seaside city of Newport, Rhode Island, A LIT STICK OF DYNAMITE tells the story of a man who is forced to reckon with his true nature, the potential upside of his violent skills and the cost of blind allegiance.
