Chain Reaction

Byrne’s latest starts with a bang and never lets up for a second. Dez Limerick has unique skills and training as a former special ops operative. His talent as a gatekeeper ensures the client has access to get in and out of a sticky situation. Now retired, he’s thrilled to get an offer to play for one of his idols in a concert. He arrives at the venue only to learn that the entire mall complex has been taken over by terrorists. Working behind the scenes to save everyone, Dez, along with a thief named Cat, starts to realize there is more going on than it initially appears. Do these men have ties to a higher-up in the Russian government? This fun take on Die Hard could easily be the entire story, but it’s merely the beginning. Someone with a personal vendetta is hunting Dez, and they won’t rest until he’s in the ground. Byrne has created an unconventional hero with unorthodox methods and a darn fun attitude. The series gets better and better with each installment, and readers will be eager to see what’s in store for Dez next.
