Synopsis

PRAISE FOR THE SHEPHERD:

"A fast paced, all too real thriller with a villain right out of James Patterson and Criminal Minds." - Andrew Gross, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of Reckless and Don't Look Twice

"Silence of the Lambs meets The Bourne Identity" - Brian S. Wheeler, Author of Mr. Hancock's Signature

"THE SHEPHERD is an intense novel that will have you locking your windows and doors, installing a safe room and taking Ambien so you can sleep through the night after finishing. Ethan Cross opens up the mind of a serial killer, exposes you to it, and leaves you with years of therapy bills. But this thrill-ride is worth every penny." - Jeremy Robinson, author of PULSE and INSTINCT

"The Shepherd is a superbly crafted thriller skillfully delving into the twisted mind of a psychopath and the tormented soul of the man destined to bring him down. Ethan Cross weaves a tale so chilling, I was afraid to turn out the lights. Highly recommended!" - D.B. Henson, Amazon bestselling author of Deed to Death

"The Shepherd is a nonstop suspense novel with great twists, great drama, and an ending that will knock you on the floor." - New York Times bestselling author Lou Aronica

"In The Shepherd, Ethan Cross has penned a taut, violent and relentless nightmare designed to prey on a reader's darkest fears. Not for the faint of heart!" - A.J. Hartley, Bestselling author of What Time Devours and Act of Will.

Marcus, a former New York City homicide detective, uses his abilities to protect others, while Ackerman uses his gifts to inflict pain and suffering. When both men become unwilling pawns in a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of our government, Marcus finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse trapped between a twisted psychopath and a vigilante with seemingly unlimited resources. Aided by a rogue FBI agent and the vigilante's beautiful daughter -a woman with whom he's quickly falling in love- Marcus must expose the deadly political conspiracy and confront his past while hunting down one of the most cunning and ruthless killers in the world.

About this title

From the Author:

My novel, The Shepherd, is the first book in a series of thrillers that I believe would be greatly enjoyed by fans of authors such as James Patterson, Dean Koontz, David Morrell, Thomas Harris, Lee Child, John Sandford, and Jeffery Deaver.  This introductory book of the series is a stand-alone novel but provides the reader with an opening into the larger world of The Shepherd.

About the Author:

When a fireman or a policeman would come visit his school, most of his classmates' heads would swim with aspirations of growing up and catching bad guys or saving someone from a blazing inferno.  When these moments came for Ethan Cross, however, his dreams weren't to someday be a cop or put out fires; he just wanted to write about it.

And his dream of telling stories on a grand scale has come to fruition with the release of his new book, The Shepherd.

Ethan Cross is the pen name of a thriller author living and writing in Illinois with his wife, two daughters, and two Shih Tzus.
