Items related to The Willing
At the age of Sixty-Five, a retired Warren Steelgrave is getting bored with life.
He decides that unlike his friends of his age he is not going to sit around playing golf, waiting to die. He is going to Italy to start the last chapter of his life and find adventure. Be careful what you wish for, adventure is what he finds.
He falls in love with Cindy O'Brian a singer songwriter in his Italian language class in Florence Italy. Little did they realize the chain of events that would engulf them. Someone was watching, but who and why? He discovers she might not be who she appears to be, but, still decides to help her flee Italy, and the chase begins through northern Italy.
Before it is over there will be two dead bodies, a secret government file, a jealous husband, fake identities, a safe house, personal betrayal as the FBI is searching for them and others want to kill them both. Does Warren Steelgrave have another card up his sleeve to save them both?
This story takes the reader through the backstreets of Florence and to villages of northern Italy, and from Monte Carlo Monaco, to a small town in Kansas America. The Willing is exciting and mysterious.

Review:
Reviewed By Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite
I was absolutely intrigued by The Willing, which was so incredibly believable and with no detail left out. The initial part of the story almost mimicked my own life, with moving to Europe and engaging in full time language studies in order to integrate. I found it fascinating that the system is virtually the same in each European country. Gary Smith is quite clear in almost all aspects of the story, such as conveying the emotional distance between Warren and his wife prior to her death and how he was frustrated that his children, who had not contacted him more than once or twice over the previous ten years, were suddenly ringing him every day and telling him how to grieve. With some polishing, The Willing would be a must-read for all lovers of suspense, romance, conspiracy, corruption, and attempting to bring down the bad guy, no matter how far up in the food chain he might be, against all of the odds.
