This review is from: Deadly Research (The Jack Richmond Conspiracy Series) (Kindle Edition)

Jon Batson writes novels like he writes songs! He's prolific and topical, and has a very relevant message while entertaining immensely. "Deadly Research" is such a book. His whole series of books are like Pulp Fiction, with a very important, relevant-to-today message. If you like suspense, intrigue, bold heroes and heroines and a quick read, you'll like this one.
