Allow me to introduce you to Captain Alexa Guerra.For fans of Lee Child, John Grisham, Jack Reacher and Michael Connelly. Inspired by the same indomitable character created by Lee Child, Alexa Guerra takes no prisoners, hates bullies and doesn’t suffer fools.The difference between her and Tom Cruise, that actor they chose to play Jack Reacher in Lee Child’s latest blockbuster movie, is that Alexa Guerra is taller, prettier and tougher. And yes, she is a hot chick. Like all hot girls, she has a boyfriend (sorry guys), his name is Neil Allen. Neil is a tough former US Marine, dishonorably discharged for a crime he didn't commit. He will take a bullet for Alexa, in fact, he already has. If you screw with his girl, be prepared to die. Peak Oil Andy Fitch has the perfect life. A rich oil billionaire, having recently been chosen as the Texas businessman of the year, he leads a charmed life. But all great men have their vices. Andy Fitch loves snuff movies. Interpol suspects that he's downloading these illegal porn films. They despatch two agents to investigate the man, but they soon disappear. Captain Alexa Guerra and Sergeant Neil Allen need to find them, soon. They visit Fitch's hometown, Dabbort Creek, where they uncover a plot so sinister, it threatens to bring America's economy to a grinding halt. Millions will lose everything they own, and Anderson Fitch will add billions to his bank balance. Anderson Fitch needs to eliminate the threat that Guerra and Allen pose. So he decides to make his own real-life snuff film, starring Alexa Guerra and Neil Allen. Will Alexa and Neil finally overcome a past that haunts them both to be together? Will they be able to stop a sick psychopath who wants to rule the world and wouldn't hesitate to wipe them off the face of the earth? Get ready for a roller coaster ride of mystery, hand-to-hand combat, bar fights and assassination attempts, with a final twist in the tale that will make you come back for more. 78,000 words. About The Author My first Lee Child novel I dove into was "The Killing Floor", and since then I've been converted into a true Reacher Creature. I unashamedly admit that my characters were inspired by what I read in Child's gripping books, but there's a bit of a twist in the tale. My protagonist is a tough-assed female who takes no prisoners, and she's a trained killer. Watch out Jack, please stand aside for the beautiful (drum roll)..., Alexa Guerra.
